Abstract:
Eczema herpeticum is a herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection with disseminated skin involvement superimposed on a pre-existing dermatosis such as atopic dermatitis, neurodermatitis, pemphigus vulgaris and Darier's disease. We report a case of eczema herpeticum by HSV-1 infection confirmed by polymerase chain reaction in a 20-year-old man associated with Darier's disease.
