Abstract

Following gold therapy in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis a transient rash and permanent nail dystrophy resulted. Following onycholysis of several finger and toe nails the nails showed permanent alterations in form of longitudinal streaks and were extremely thin, soft, and fragile. Intracutaneous tests with the commercial gold solution revealed an allergic reaction of the delayed type.

[Generalized herpes simplex].

This report is about a 58-year-old female patient with generalized herpes simplex virus exanthema. The virus was detected not only in the skin eruptions but also in rinsing liquid from the throat. Its typical feature revealed it to be herpes simplex virus Type I. On the basis of similar cases which have been described in literature, we point out that it is necessary to carry out virological and serological tests in cases of uncertain vesico-pustular or erythema exsudativum multiforme like exanthemas. These exanthemas must be separated from the postherpetic erythema exsudativum multiforme because of the identified virus.
