A case of herpes simplex autoinoculated on the 1st interdigital web of right hand was reported, Herpes labialis characterized by confluent rice sized vesicular eruptions had developed on the midportion of upper lip. After 3 days, typical herpetic lesion occurred on the 1st interdigital web of right hand. We reviewed briefly the recent literatures.

4.Efficacy of Indirect Immunofluorescent Antibody Test in Herpes Simplex Keratitis.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1999;40(7):1770-1781
Herpes simplex virus keratits(HSK) is one of the most common external eye diseases that cause corneal blindness, Therefore early diagnosis and proper treatment of HSK are essential. However it is frequently misdiagnosed because it shows non-specific corneal lesion than other infectious corneal disease. And also diagnosis of HSK mostly rely on clinical examination and patient history. We evaluated suspicious HSK patients by indirect immunofluofluorescent(IF) antibody test and analyzed its efficacy in the early diagnosis of HSK. Among 47 patients(47 eyes), 37 patients were suspicious heretic keratitis and others not. Dendritic keratitis patients existed in 17 out of 37 patients and they were evaluated with virus culture and indirect IF test. The result of indirect IF test was confirmed under the immunofluorescent microscope and for virus culture the specimens were inoculated on Vero cells(monkey kidney cells). The positive results of indirect IF test was 28 out of 37 suspicious HSK patients and 1 out of 10 non-suspicious HSK patients. Dendritic HSK patients showed IF positive in 15 out of 17 patients(82.3%). Sensitivity of indirect IF test in suspicious HSK patients was 75.7%(2837) and 88.2%(15/17) in dendritic HSK patients. Indirect IF test was all positive(14/14) in dendritic HSK patients that showed culture positive. From these results, indirect IF test has a high sensitivity in early diagnosis of HSK and might be ussful as a rapid diagnostic tool in HSK patients.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) esophagitis is a rare disease and most of cases are reported in the immunocompromised patients2,3,11,15,17,18). We report a case of fatal HSV infection started from herpes labialis and esophagitis. She had initially suffered from perioral ulcer, esophagitis, and interstitial pneumonitis later and eventually died of respiratory insufficiency one month later after the aneurysmal surgery. She did not have any immunocompromised medical history and also had no evidence of herpes encephalitis in laboratory study and magnetic resonance image (MRI). With the availability of effective agents for the treatment of HSV infection, early recognition of HSV esophagitis is important because it may be clinically confused with Cushing ulcer and may be complicated with a fatal pneumonitis.

PURPOSE: We report the therapeutic effect of ganciclovir gel instead of acyclovir ointment usually used in the case of herpes simplex superficial ocular disease such as herpetic dendritic keratitis and erosive blepharitis. METHODS: Three patients clinically diagnosed with herpes simplex dendritic keratitis and one as erosive blepharitis were treated with the topical ophthalmic gel of 0.15% ganciclovir three times a day for 2 to 4 weeks. Ocular complications and recurrence were evaluated under slit-lamp examination for the follow-up periods. RESULTS: Dendritic keratitis and erosive blepharitis were completely recovered with no recurrence during the 5 months follow-up. There is no respective comparison here. In one case of herpes simplex keratitis, the keratitis wound was repaired after debridement of corneal epithelial layer and application of ganciclovir gel. Complications including burning sensation and superficial punctate keratitis did not develop and visual acuity improved. CONCLUSIONS: Ganciclovir ophthalmic gel should be considered one of the effective therapeutic drugs for the herpes simplex ocular disease.

Eczema herpeticum is a widespread Herpes simplex virus(HSV) infection, which usually develops in patients with atopic dermatitis. Because pruritus in patients with atopic dermatits leads them to scratch their bodies, it causes the dissemination of Herpes simplex virus. A delay in diagnosing this condition may result in intense and rapid spread of the cutaneous lesions. We report a patient who underwent a prolonged friction with a rough nylon towel while bathing and developed eczema herpeticum. We suspect a bath with a rough nylon towel as a possible route of spread.

BACKGROUND: Dermatological diseases can occur with atopic dermatitis. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to analyze diseases associated with atopic dermatitis in Koreans. METHODS: From November, 2007, to May, 2008, 948 patients with atopic dermatitis who visited the department of dermatology at 19 hospitals were evaluated for associated diseases. RESULTS: Of 948 patients, 53.8% (510) had symptoms associated with other dermatological diseases. In order of frequency, diseases associated with atopic dermatitis included acne, hand/foot eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, urticaria, warts, and recurrent herpes simplex. The number of associated diseases did not change significantly with the severity of atopic dermatitis. However, the incidence of hand/foot eczema and eczema herpeticum correlated significantly with the severity of atopic dermatitis. CONCLUSION: There is a distinct pattern of diseases associated with atopic dermatitis in Koreans.
