摘要
Kaposi’s varicelliform eruption is characterized by disseminated ve siculopu stules and erosions caused by a herpes virus infection superimposed on a pre-e xisting dermatosis. The eruption usually occurs in individuals with atopic derma titis or other pre-existing dermatosis such as Darier’s disease, pemphigus f oliaceus, mycosis fungoides, Sé zary syndrome, benign familial pemphigus, ichth yosis vulgaris, second-degree burns, multiple myeloma, and Grover’s disease. We report here a new case of Kaposi’s varicelliform eruption in a 38- year- old woman with rosacea. To our knowledge, this is the first case of Kaposi’s varicelliform eruption as sociated with rosacea to be reported.
