Intralesional candida antigen versus intralesional varicella zoster vaccine in treatment of molluscum contagiosum: A new promising alternative.

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a self-limited but notoriously highly infectious viral infection. It is often encountered by children. Most traditional therapies are invasive and have a high rate of recurrence.

The Role of Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography in Diagnosis of Hepatobiliary Lesions.

Introduction: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) has achieved widespread success as a diagnostic tool for hepatobiliary lesions. MRCP offers an effective method of hepatobiliary diagnosis that is safer than the use of invasive procedures, namely endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and is more accurate than ultrasound.

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic quality and overall accuracy of MRCP for the evaluation of hepatobiliary lesions.

Treatment of common and plane warts in children with topical viable Bacillus Calmette-Guerin.

Treatment of verrucae in children is difficult and may be painful using traditional methods, especially if they are multiple or on the face. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical application of viable Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) in a paste formula as a new immunotherapeutic modality in the treatment of common and plane warts in children. The present study included 80 children with common and plane warts at different sites on the body.
