Jae Seok Yang, Kyoung Moon Kim, Gil Joo Lee, Il Hwan Kim and Chil Hwan Oh

    Abstract

    Eczema herpeticum is a herpes simplex virus infection with disseminated skin involvement superimposed on a pre-existing dermatosis. Dariers disease has been reported to be among the dermatoses susceptible to the sudden onset of a widespread vesicular eruption accompanied by high fever known as Kaposis varicelliform eruption.

    We report a case of eczema herpeticum in a 46-year-old woman associated with Dariers disease.
