Abstract
A 15-year-old boy with Kaposi's varicelliform eruption complicating healing second degree burns is reported. Clinically, umbilicated vesicles and pustules evolving to extensive erosions appeared over previously burned areas, sparing normal skin. Rapid diagnosis was made on the basis of the presence of multinucleate giant cells in a Tzanck smear. Therapy with intravenous acyclovir was followed by complete epithelialization without scarring. Previous cases of Kaposi's varicelliform eruption in burned patients are reviewed.Entities:
