Abstract

A case of Kaposi herpetic eruption in a one year old atopic child is reported. Oral Acyclovir treatment (100 mg, 5 times daily, for 5 days) was efficacious in arresting the hyperpyrexia, the systemic manifestations and the cutaneous lesions at 48 hours after the start of treatment. No toxicity was observed. Oral Acyclovir seems to be efficacious in primary herpetic infection, particularly in Kaposi herpetic eruption.
