Kaposi Varicelliform Eruption With Contact Dermatitis in a Person Living with AIDS.
    International journal of STD & AIDS, 2022, Volume: 33, Issue:13

    Kaposi varicelliform eruption (KVE) is a cutaneous dissemination of a viral infection, which is mostly caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) in the setting of certain underlying skin diseases. KVE occurs mainly in infants and children, but very rarely in adults. Here, we report a case of KVE with contact dermatitis in a 36-year-old man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), who was referred to our deparment with pruritic well-defined facial erythema and multiple vesicular lesions. A punch biopsy and immunohistochemical examination established the diagnosis of KVE with contact dermatitis. After treatment with valacyclovir and antihistamines, facial lesions achieved complete remission. With this case report, KVE has specific manifestation in clinic, histopathology and immunohistochemistry, which could guide the early diagnosis and improve prognosis.
