Molluscum contagiosum and parapox infections are described as

  • A.generalized and often fatal
  • B.localized but severely painful
  • C.asymptomatic in every case
  • D.localized and relatively painless

Answer: D

Correct answer: localized and relatively painless

These are the mild end of the poxvirus family. Molluscum contagiosum produces small umbilicated skin nodules, and the parapoxviruses give orf and milker’s nodule - lesions confined to the site of contact, causing little pain and resolving without treatment. They stand in contrast to smallpox, which was generalized, systemic and frequently fatal.
