SUMMARY Rhinoviruses are the most common cause of the common cold, but they can cause more severe illnesses in people with underlying lung disorders such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or cystic fibrosis. Epidemiologic studies with sensitive detection methods such as PCR have identified rhinovirus infection as a major source of asthma exacerbations in both children and adults, especially during the spring and fall. Since rhinoviruses cause little tissue destruction, it is presumed that the immune response to the infection may play an important role in the pathogenesis of rhinovirus-induced exacerbations of asthma. This review examines the epidemiologic association between rhinovirus infections and exacerbations of asthma and outlines current information on immune responses to rhinovirus infection and potential connections between antiviral responses and preexisting allergic inflammation. Finally, current and future strategies for treating rhinovirus infections and virus-induced exacerbations of asthma are discussed.

Molluscum contagiosum is unique among the viral induced growths of the skin. Unlike other viral tumors, the molluscum contagiosum lesion is a mass made up of myriads of free, discrete virions. It is not a proliferating growth of epidermal keratinocytes such as one observes in the common wart. There is no better way to perceive the nature of this tumor mass than by scanning electron microscopy.Skin lesions of molluscum contagiosum were excised from patients and immediately fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde. After fixation the specimens were rinsed in Millonig’s Phosphate buffer. The entire lesion was than cross-sectioned with a razor blade, postfixed in 1% OsO4, rinsed again in buffer, dehydrated in grading ETOH, critical point dried, positioned on an aluminum stub and gold-coated. Examination was made using a JEOL SEM (JSM-35).
