Key Takeaway

Key Takeaway: GCLR to molluscum contagiosum is a rare but potentially severe hypersensitivity reaction, with a clinical presentation and course similar to Gianotti-Crosti syndrome.

Abstract

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a common viral infection. Hypersensitivity reactions reminiscent of Gianotti‐Crosti syndrome, termed Gianotti‐Crosti syndrome‐like reaction (GCLR), have been reported in a subset of patients. We report a series of patients with GCLR, better delineating its clinical presentation and course.
