- Abstract
Kaposi's varicelliform eruption (eczema herpeticum) is a serious infection caused principally by the herpessimplex virus 1. Thetypical clinical presentation is marked by the appearance of vesiculopapular lesions that spreads to involve the entire cutaneous surface. Here, we are reporting a case of Kaposi's varicelliform eruption with systemic dissemination caused by HSV1 in a patient with no prior history of dermatoses or immunodeficiency. This report aims to promote the recognition of this potentially fatal condition, which can be treated effectively with early diagnosis.
