“…If the cell eruptions were viral, "disseminated herpes" should be taken into consideration, but there were no general symptoms such as high fever, and there were no positive findings indicating viral cause. It is a well known fact that infection easily OCcurs in Darier's disease, and there are reports of the complication of Kaposi's varicelliform eruption due to herpes virus or vaccinia virus (3,4). Such a finding was not observed clinically in our case.…”

This paper reports a peculiar case seen in a 36-year-old woman who every summer since the age of 30 has developed numerous solitary vesicles or crusted papules with intense pruritus in the seborrheic zones. There are no general symptoms and no hereditary relations. The individual rash disappears completely in a week to a month and there is no eruption in winter. The clinical picture resembles that of Darier's disease, but histopathological tests reveal intraepidermal cleft or bulla formation due to acantholysis but no dyskeratosis. Clinicopathological consideration indicates a disease akin to familial benign chronic pemphigus, but as our case does not correspond to any known disease, it is therefore reported as a peculiar acantholytic dermatosis.

“…The occurrence of EH with DD is a well-known finding [5][6][7][8] but a rare occurrence and is considered a dermatologic emergency. In its primary form, EH presents with monomorphic blisters or punched-out erosions which are red/black in color, in areas where the skin has been most affected by underlying skin disease.…”

The occurrence of eczema herpeticum (EH) in patients with Darier's disease (DD) is a rare occurrence. It is considered a dermatologic emergency due to its high mortality rate if misdiagnosed or left untreated. Here, we present a case of a 42-year-old woman with a longstanding history of DD who presented with EH secondary to herpes simplex 1. Since the incidence of EH is now increasing in adults, we take this as an opportunity to raise awareness among clinicians on the importance of a timely diagnosis of EH and initiating prompt treatment so as to prevent or minimize complications.

“…simplex infections over a large part of body in generalized cutaneous diseases, e.g. atopic dermatitis (6-10), Darier'sdisease (11)(12)(13), and severe sunburn (14), better than the ordinary view that the dissemination forms by cutaneous autoinoculation from a first vesicular lesion of either primary or recurrent infections, particularly if one considers that even insufficient immunities in recurrent herpes simplex might be partially protective against the explosively spreading superinfection. As the hypothesis stays unproved, the mechanisms of the recurring dissemination are left unsolved.…”
