Abstract
Kaposi varicelliform eruption (KVE) is the name given to a distinct cutaneous eruption caused by Herpesvirus hominis types 1 and 2, vaccinia virus, or coxsackie A16 virus, superimposed on a preexisting dermatosis. A delay in diagnosing this condition may result in intense pain and rapid spread of the cutaneous lesions. We report a patient who underwent perioral dermabrasion for wrinkles who developed KVE secondary to herpes simplex virus infection.Entities:
