Grover's disease secondarily infected with herpes simplex virus and Staphylococcus aureus: case report and review
Australas J Dermatol.
2013 Nov.
Abstract
The case of a 73-year old man with herpes simplex and staphylococcus aureus infection complicating established Grover's disease is presented. This was treated successfully with valaciclovir. While reports of bacterial and herpetic infections complicating other acantholytic diseases, such as Darier's disease, have been published previously, only one publication to date shows herpes simplex infection in Grover's disease.
Keywords: Grover's disease; acantholysis; eczema herpeticum; herpes simplex virus.
