Abstract:
Herpes simplex virus (HSV)-associated erythema multiforme (HAEM) is an acute and self-limiting mucocutaneous hypersensitivity reaction triggered by herpes virus infections. We reported a patient with HAEM after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). A 55-year-old man received HSCT 7 months ago. He suffered from chronic graft versus host disease 4 months after HSCT and was treated with prednisone and tacrolimus. One week ago, he developed generalized macules with leukopenia. Dermatological examination revealed multiple iris-like erythemas on his trunk and extremities. The skin lesions and leukopenia resolved upon anti-HSV treatment.
