AIIMS Nov 2015- Dermatology solved questions

There were 11 questions in all- 

1)A Lady with asymptomatic pearly small nodules on forehead since 2 months. 2 year daughter also has similar lesion. Causative agent?
HPV
Coxsackie
Pox
Papilloma virus
Answer: Pox virus (this is molluscum)
expl: 
Etiology: Molluscum contagiosum is caused by up to four closely related types of poxvirus, MCV­1 to 4 and their variants. MCV­1 infections are most common (MCQ). In patients infected with HIV, however, 
MCV­2 causes the majority of infections (60%) (MCQ). Immunosuppression, either systemic T­cell immunosup­pression (usually HIV, but also sarcoidosis and malignancies) or abnormal cutaneous immunity (as in atopic dermatitis or topical steroid use), predisposes the individual to infection. 
Virtually all   HIV­infected patients with molluscum contagiosum already have an AIDS diagnosis and a helper T­cell count of less than 100

Morphology: Individual lesions are smooth ­surfaced, firm, dome ­shaped, pearly papules (remember these words), averaging 3–5 mm in diameter. 
Complications: Irritated lesions may become crusted and even pustular. Dermatitis surrounding a lesion 
usually heralds the resolution of that lesion (called Meyersons phenomenon)
