Abstract
Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin infected that is seen in children, sexually active adults, as well as immunocompromised adults in different situations of T-cell dysfunction. We report a rare case of molluscum contagiosum in an HIV-negative adult with idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia, a rare, underreported T-cell dysfunction.
