Generalized molluscum contagiosum in an HIV patient treated with diphencyprone

[摘要] Diphencyprone is a universal contact immunotherapy. The mechanism of action is based on an induction of the delayed-type hypersensitivity. Diphencyprone has been used in various forms for treatments of recalcitrant and facial warts, and alopecia areata. However, this treatment modality has not been generally used in immunocompromised patients.
