These include the use of hydrochlorothiazide diuretics, therapy-induced immunosuppression, and possible infections by a range of viral (e.g., HTLV-1, HTLV-2, HIV, Epstein-Barr virus, Cytomegalovirus, HHV-6, HHV-7, HHV-8 (KSHV), and Polyomaviruses such as Merkel cell polyomavirus) and bacterial or fungal pathogens (including Staphylococcus ...
Transmission of the molluscum contagiosum virus can occur many different ways including direct skin contact (e.g., contact sports or sexual activity), contact with an infected surface , or autoinoculation (self-infection) by scratching or picking molluscum lesions and then touching other parts of the skin not previously affected by the virus ...
Maculopapular rash on the abdomen after 3 days of measles infection A maculopapular rash is a type of rash characterized by a flat, red area on the skin that is covered with small confluent bumps. It may only appear red in lighter-skinned people.

For example, serology positive for rubella specific antibodies, viral culture with isolated rubella, or isolation of rubella virus RNA through polymerase chain reaction can all confirm that congenital rubella infection is the underlying cause of the blueberry muffin rash. [8]
Gianotti–Crosti syndrome (/ dʒ ə ˈ n ɒ t i ˈ k r ɔː s t i /), also known as infantile papular acrodermatitis, [1] papular acrodermatitis of childhood, [1] and papulovesicular acrolocated syndrome, [2]: 389 is a reaction of the skin to a viral infection.

Like other drug-induced SCARs disorders, AGEP is a type IV hypersensitivity reaction in which a drug or its metabolite stimulates cytotoxic T cells (i.e. CD8 + T cells) or T helper cells (i.e. CD4 + T cells) to initiate autoimmune reactions that attack self tissues. SCARs are type IV, subtype IVb (DRESS syndrome), type IV, subtype IVc (SJS, SJS ...
Indirect viral oncogenicity involves chronic nonspecific inflammation occurring over decades of infection, as is the case for HCV-induced liver cancer. These two mechanisms differ in their biology and epidemiology: direct tumor viruses must have at least one virus copy in every tumor cell expressing at least one protein or RNA that is causing ...
