Abstract EN

Molluscum contagiosum is skin disease and well known by dermatologists, the causative agent is a pox virus.

Infection, usually self limited within few months in individuals with a normal health and immune system.

From 205 case females recorded 95(46.3%) and 110(53.7%) males.

The results showed that there were a highly significant increment in concentration of IL 17A (132.66 ± 24.7pg/ml) compared with control group which was (42.59±13.4pg/ml).

Results also showed that there is highly significant increment in concentrations of IL 23P19 (112.33 ±17pg/ml) compared with control group which was (21.11±9.6pg/ml).

Also documented data declared a highly significant increment in concentrations of IL 22 (77.11±8.8pg/ml) in comparison to control group which was (18.11±12pg/ml).

The relative expression of the gene FoxP3 gene showed increment in patients group (17.723 ± 1.227) compared with control group which was (2.133±1.234), results of NFAT gene showed increment in patients group (13.676±2.223) compared with control group which was (2.743±1.133) and result of AP1gene showed increment in patients group (3.7883±1.234) compared with control group which was (1.8766±0.889).

These findings indicate the potent immune response against the virus infection which belongs to Th 17 and 22 and the controlling mechanisms through the regulatory T cells which maintain the response in the normal levels.
