Studies outside EV show altered TLR expression in cutaneous viral lesions: common warts and molluscum contagiosum display increased epidermal TLR3/TLR9 versus normal skin [10]; verruca vulgaris shows elevated dermal TLR9/IRAK1 (interleukin‐1 receptor‐associated kinase 1) with increased plasmacytoid dendritic cells [11]. This evidence concerns the gene TLR9 and molluscum contagiosum.
