A total of thirty MCV patients  and twenty two healthy persons were selected for viral, histological and immunological tests by using histological, PCR and ELISA techniques. The results were  revealed that : 99% of patients  of MC proved  positive PCR, MCV-1 is the predominant type including high infection rate  in children with  age group (<10). The concentration of CD95L was highest in patients sera compared with  control group . There was significant Mean Differences of FSAL Concentration by MCV’s location especially at the hand and face. The results showed that mean SD of CD95l at patients whom have pervious MCV less than one year of infection have higher percentage of infection with increased of CD95l level, while CD95l concentration at patients  with MCV lesion more than  one year.
