- Abstract
The article describes a case of thymoma-associated graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-like erythroderma in a 64-year-old woman that worsened with the recurrence of oral herpes and the aggravation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigenemia. She had a history of malignant thymoma and myasthenia gravis and recurrent oral herpes infection. It is presumed that reactivation of the herpes simplex virus and CMV may play a role in the pathogenesis of erythroderma.
