2 Mucocutaneous lesions caused by viruses Viruses reach the skin through: Direct inoculation e.g. HPV Blood The virus enters body through RT viremia skin e.g. measles, rubella, VZV.

3 The outcome of viral infection of skin is either Vesicular skin lesions lesions are sites of viral growth & are infectious Maculopapular lesions lesions are non-infectious & immunologically mediated Tumors

4 Vesicular Maculopapular Tumors

5 HSV Coxsackie A virus Viruses causing VESICULAR LESIONS VZV Small pox virus
