We present a case of disseminated Molluscum contagiosum (MC), occurring in an ornamental bird breeder with poorly-controlled atopic eczema. The Molluscum poxvirus has been identified histologically in birds; and lesions in atopic dermatitis tend to be more extensive with a protracted clinical course. We review the literature regarding MC and reflect on its clinical aspects, risk for dissemination, management and interestingly its association with various bird species.
