Overview

Molluscum contagiosum may be classified according to restriction endonuclease analysis into at least two types; type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is more common.

Classification

Molluscum contagiosum may be classified according to restriction endonuclease analysis into at least two types; type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is more common, but there is still no evidence about correlation of virus type to the clinical appearance of the lesions or to their anatomical distribution.[1]
