In conclusion, our results suggest that oral HPV infection is unlikely to be acquired through
autoinoculation. Oral HPV infection is rather an independent event from cervical infection, strengthening the hypothesis of different transmission routes.
(11) However, if there is substantial pruritus, lesions are cosmetically undesirable, or a child has atopic dermatitis and is at increased risk for
autoinoculation, treatment may be warranted.
Multiple lesions may occur after multiple bites, accidental
autoinoculation by scratching, or metastatic spread.
Infection with the MC virus can also occur through fomites, such as shared towels, and by
autoinoculation, especially when an individual with pruritic MC lesions (molluscum dermatitis) scratches the skin.
Fingernail cleansing and facial dipping disarm the
autoinoculation process--the process where we unwittingly put into our bodies (through the eyes, nose, or mouth) unwanted germs or viruses.
It is acquired by direct contact with an infected individual or, less commonly, by contact with a fomite (e.g., clothing, towels, and toys);
autoinoculation is common.
Other complications include
autoinoculation, in which traces of the vaccine can be transmitted by a health worker's hands to the eyes, for example; progressive vaccinia (also called vaccinia gangrenosa); and eczema vaccinatum, a widespread skin reaction in patients with atopic dermatitis.
Infection is thought to be secondary to trauma or
autoinoculation. It rarely involves other organ systems of the body especially underlying bones.
Interestingly, seasonal distribution of PSD cases exhibits a characteristic pattern of pharyngeal GABHS infections in temperate climates and supports the idea of
autoinoculation through digital contamination or ingestion of GABHS (3, 17).
Following successful administration of vaccine, ACAM2000 produces vaccination site lesions containing infectious vaccinia virus capable of transmission through
autoinoculation and inadvertent inoculation of close contacts of vaccinees.
It has been hypothesized that
autoinoculation may happen when the infected pulmonary mucus interacts with wounded, susceptible areas of the mucosa, eliciting the emergence of lesions.
