Description

A 62-year-old woman demonstrated infiltrated erythematous macules with itching on her back and upper extremities that had persisted for a few years. Histology of erythema on the back was compatible with erythema multiforme. She was treated with mometasone furoate, paramethasone, and loratadine, but the eruptions were not controlled. Because of recurrent herpes simplex on her buttock over the past several years, the diagnosis of herpes-associated erythema multiforme was made. Continuous suppressive therapy with valaciclovir effectively suppressed attacks of recurrent herpes simplex and erythema multiforme.
