“…Concerning skin diseases, EH has often been reported in Darier's disease in addition to AD. [28][29][30][31] Case histories have also been published for a variety of other skin diseases such as epidermolysis bullosa simplex, 32 pemphigus foliaceus, 33 Hailey-Hailey disease, 34 pityriasis rubra pilaris, 35 irritant contact dermatitis, 36 staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, 37 Grover's disease, 38 psoriasis, 39 rosacea, 40 patients with skin grafts, 41 trauma, 42 cosmetic procedures such as follicular hair unit extraction, 43 and severe burns. 44,45 EH has also been described in two patients with ichthyosis vulgaris and a history of AD.…”

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, which is characteristically associated with intense pruritus and eczematous lesions. 1 Robert Willan, an English dermatologist, was the first to describe the disease in 1808. 2 In most countries, over 20% of children are affected at least once during a period of their lives. [3][4][5] Despite the fact that 85% of all cases manifest before the age of five, AD can occur lifelong and the prevalence of AD is still high in adulthood. 6-8 Surprisingly, recent data based on two birth cohorts revealed that only 38% of adult AD patients in the United Kingdom reported a childhood onset of symptoms. 9Patients suffering from AD are prone to viral and bacterial infections. 5 Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections are particularly common in AD patients, leading to superinfection. 10

“…2 Intravenous delivery should be considered in those with severe or systemic complications by KVE. 9,13,14 In conclusion, patients with underlying skin diseases, especially those under long-term treatment with immunosuppressive agents such as glucocorticoids or tacrolimus ointment, should be suspected for KVE when presenting with monomorphic, umbilicated vesicles and crusting on erythematous base. Although KVE is rare in adults, HSV may secondary infect skin lesions in adult immunodeficient patients.…”

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.

Viruses can cause disease in the skin or mucosa by direct infection or, via a systemic infection, produce secondary skin abnormalities. The chapter reviews the viruses associated with skin lesions, outlining the pathophysiology, the clinical features, diagnostic methods and the approaches to treatment. Primary skin infection following direct contact occurs with poxviruses, some herpesviruses and papillomaviruses leading to visible features which may be readily diagnostic. Less specific skin changes are seen with systemic infections, when infection is often via mucosae or inoculation, for example with parvovirus, measles or coronavirus and for these infections, diagnosis will usually involve body fluid analysis.
