Abstract:
Kaposi's varricelliform eruption is a characteristic syndrome of disseminated vesiculopustules superimposed on variable pre-existing dermatoses. Among these, atopic dermatitis is most common disease. We report two cases of Kaposi's varicelliform eruption associated with atopic dermatitis in a pair of identical twins. Diagnosis was made by the history, clinical feature, histologic examination and serologic test. These patients' condition was much improved by the treatment with antiviral agent and antibiotics.
