“…The complement fixation titre to herpes simplex also remained low in our patient, but the lesions primarily occurred at the site of previous recurrent herpes simplex infec tions and fortunately responded to topical applications of 5'-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine dissolved in dimethyl sulphoxide. As in case 4, the occurrence of prolonged atypical herpes simplex infections in patients receiving steroids or immuno-suppressive drugs has been noted by Stroud [1961] and Park et al [1967], Montgomerie et al [1969] described severe herpes simplex infections in 4 patients who died after receiving renal transplants. One patient died as a result of herpetic lesions involving the face, mouth, oeso phagus, ileum and ano-genital areas, whilst in the other three cases the herpes simplex infection was an important factor contributing to death.…”

An indirect immunofluorescent antibody technique is described which can be used to identify rapidly, specifically and accurately herpesvirus hominis infections affecting the skin. The possible applications of this technique as a diagnostic aid of suspected herpetic infections in dermatology are illustrated and discussed. It is suggested that the method should prove useful in the investigation of all vesicular skin lesions in which infection with herpesvirus hominis is suspected. With the advent of anti-viral agents these techniques are likely to become increasingly important.

✓ A case of recurrent sciatic pain associated with herpes simplex infection is presented and the characteristic differences from usual forms of sciatica discussed. Special features of this entity are recurrent episodes of neuralgic pain followed by zosteriform skin eruptions. Both rash and pain disappear within a few days. This entity should be considered when evaluating patients with recurrent sciatica.
