Abstrakt: Eczema herpeticum (EH), also known as varicelliform eruption of Kaposi, is a herpes simplex virus infection that develops mainly in the setting of pre-existing chronic dermatoses such as atomic dermatitis, ichthyosis, seborrheic dermatitis, Darier's disease, pemphigus foliaceus, mycosis fungoides, and psoriasis, and is most commonly associated with atopic dermatitis. In this article, we describe an 18-year-old female patient with atopic dermatitis diagnosed with EH after subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis and present this very rare side effect in the light of the current literature.
