Viral folliculitis, though rare, can be caused by herpes simplex (HSV) and herpes zoster (HZ) viruses. Consider viral infections in persistent folliculitis cases unresponsive to standard treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Viral folliculitis is a rare skin condition.
  • It often presents as superficial inflammation of hair follicles.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to varied presentations.

Observation:

  • This report details two cases of viral folliculitis.
  • Case 1: Herpetic sycosis caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV).
  • Case 2: Herpes zoster (HZ) infection presenting without characteristic blisters.

Findings:

  • Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can manifest as sycosis (a type of folliculitis).
  • Herpes zoster (HZ) may cause folliculitis even without vesicular eruption.
  • Viral pathogens should be considered in refractory folliculitis cases.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should include viral etiologies in the differential diagnosis of folliculitis.
  • This is particularly important for cases resistant to antibacterial or antifungal therapies.
  • Recognizing viral folliculitis aids in appropriate patient management and treatment.
