Abstract

Dermatological conditions may be associated with emergent medical conditions.

Due to medical history of atopic dermatitis herpeticum eczema was suspected and appropriate treatment was immediately initiated, while skin lesions were significantly improved.

Key words: herpeticum eczema, Kaposi eczema, atopic dermatitis, children
