This report presents a case of a 17-year-old-girl who developed a, Kaposis varicelliforrn eruption(eczema herpeticum) during oral prednisolone therapy in order to control pemphigus foliaceus. Diagnosis was made by the history, clinical feature and histologic examination. Within 24 hours after the initiation of therapy with ribavirin(Viramid), new lesions had ceased to develop.

Eczema herpeticum occurred in a patient with pemphigus foliaceus and esophageal cancer. The patient's initial skin lesions composed of large flaccid bullaes showed subcorneal bullae with typical acantholytic cells. Subsequent grouped small vesicles appeared widely on the erythematous base were diagnosed herpes simplex virus infection by Tzanck smear and histopathological findings. The patient died one week after the development of the widespread herpes virus infection.

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.

Eczema herpeticum is a herpes simplex virus infection with disseminated skin involvement, which superimposes on a pre-existing dermatosis. Two siblings with simultaneous primary herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection on the normal skin of their backs, followed by their mother's herpes labialis. Eczema herpeticum was diagnosed on the basis of history, clinical feature, Tzanck test, histologic examination and a serologic test. Their skin lesions were healed by treatment with oral acyclovir and mupirocin ointment.

Kaposi's varicelliform eruption results from a widespread infection of a virus to skin damaged by predisposing dermatoses. It is usually a manifestation of a primary herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection in a child with atopic dermatitis, but other skin conditions can be complicated. Here, we report an unusual case of KVE arising from lichen simplex chronicus on the male genital area.
