Abstract
• This, to our knowledge, is the first documented report of eczema herpeticum due to infection with herpesvirus hominis type 2. The virus was isolated from a patient with known Darier disease who developed Kaposi varicelliform eruption. Recent increases in the incidence of infection with type 2 herpes simplex as well as the high frequency of recurrence with this virus make this infection of potential significance in patients with preexisting cutaneous disease.
