Background : Molluscum contagiosum is one of the commonest cutaneos viral infections in children . Although there is no specific treatment for this infection many therapeutic modalities have been used with different success rates , including curettage, trichloroacetic acid , and cryotherapy . All treatment modalities are associated with substantial pain, tissue destruction, and frequent recurrence. There are other modalities that can be applied by parents and less side effects , such as using tretinoin and KOH . In our study , we compare between KOH which dissolves keratin and penetrate deeply the skin , and tretinoin which damages the viral protein – lipid membrane Objective : To compare the efficacy and side effects of KOH 15% solution with tretinoin 0.05% cream for treatment of molluscum contagiosum . Material and methods : Total 52 patients with molluscum contagiosum were enrolled in this study, from 2013 to 2014 , from Dermatology Department of Al Assad University outpatients, Lattakia .We have designed a questionnaire include personal factors In addition to the tables to compare all of KOH (15%) solution and teritnoian (0.05%) cream in terms of effectiveness in the treatment and side effects. Results : Mail : female ratio was (1.48 : 1) , age onset was higher at first decade (67.3%). The most common involved site was the trunk ( 42.3 %) . Both of the study treatment regimens have advantage over other treatment options as they are locally applicable , less traumatic and painful . Because of these characteristics , they can be easily applicable for the treatment of Molluscum Contagiosum . During the treatment period , using KOH (15%) showed cure rate ( 75%) after two weeks of treatment , while using tretinoin (0.05%) showed cure rate (20.8%) after two weeks, and most of the patients need four weeks and even more Conclusion : The result of both KOH and tretinoin showed good response , well tolerated by children but between the two , KOH showed fast recovery and most lesions were resolved before 4 week . The side effects could be minimized if applied as stated above . On the other hand , tretinoin showed delayed response and even some of lesion extended beyond 4 week but the side effect were less , and hence can be used in recurrent cases.

Research summary
تُعد المليساء السارية من الإنتانات الفيروسية الجلدية الشائعة بين الأطفال. تهدف الدراسة إلى مقارنة فعالية وآثار جانبية كل من محلول هيدروكسيد البوتاسيوم (KOH) بنسبة 15% وكريم التريتينوين بنسبة 0.05% في علاج المليساء السارية. شملت الدراسة 52 مريضًا من مشفى الأسد الجامعي في اللاذقية خلال الفترة من 2013 إلى 2014. أظهرت النتائج أن العلاج بالـ KOH كان أكثر فعالية وأسرع في تحقيق الشفاء مقارنة بالتريتينوين، حيث بلغت نسبة الشفاء بعد أسبوعين من بدء العلاج بالـ KOH 75% مقارنة بـ 20.8% للتريتينوين. ومع ذلك، كانت الآثار الجانبية للـ KOH أكثر شدة، مثل الألم والحمامى والحرق، بينما كانت الآثار الجانبية للتريتينوين أقل. توصي الدراسة باستخدام الـ KOH لعلاج المليساء السارية مع الانتباه لتطبيقه بشكل صحيح لتقليل الآثار الجانبية، واستخدام التريتينوين للحالات الناكسة أو الآفات الموجودة في الوجه والمنطقة التناسلية.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تُعد هذه الدراسة مهمة لإيجاد علاج فعال وآمن للمليساء السارية، خاصةً للأطفال. ومع ذلك، هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، كان من الأفضل توسيع حجم العينة لتشمل مجموعة أكبر من المرضى لضمان نتائج أكثر دقة. ثانيًا، لم تتناول الدراسة تأثير العوامل البيئية أو الوراثية على فعالية العلاجين المختلفين. ثالثًا، كان من الممكن تقديم تفاصيل أكثر حول كيفية تقليل الآثار الجانبية للـ KOH بشكل فعال. أخيرًا، كان من المفيد تضمين متابعة طويلة الأمد للمرضى لتقييم مدى استدامة نتائج العلاج.
