Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a benign viral infection, which may have florid manifestations in immunosuppressed patients. Moreover, the treatment is often unsatisfactory in these patients and it maybe recalcitrant. We hereby report the use of intralesional vitamin D immunotherapy in two immunosuppressed patients with persistent widespread MC lesions.
