Overview
Molluscum contagiosum was first described by Bateman in 1817 in the second edition of his synopsis. In 1841, Paterson demonstrated molluscum contagiosum's infectious nature. The viral nature of the disease was demonstrated by Juliusberg in 1905.
Historical Perspective
Discovery
Molluscum contagiosum was first discovered by Bateman in 1817.[1]
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- Molluscum contagiosum was first discovered by Bateman in 1817 in his second edition of his synopsis.[1]
- In 1841, Paterson demonstrated molluscum contagiosum infectious nature.
- Also in 1841, Henderson-Paterson bodies (intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies, lobules containing hyalinized molluscum bodies) were described by scientists Henderson and Paterson.[2]
- In 1905, the viral nature of the disease was demonstrated by Juliusberg.[3]
- Molluscum contagiosum virus types I-IV were identified with the advance of the technology through restrictive endonuclease analysis of the genomes of isolates.[4]
