Definition:

The term Eczema Herpeticum refers to an acute disseminated herpes simplex infection, often appearing in individuals with compromised immune systems. Eczema herpeticum often occurs among those suffering from Celiac disease as well as the very young or old. Also, it is almost always associated with atopic dermatitis.

Symptoms:

Numerous blisters and scabs erupt on the face or elsewhere, associated with swollen lymph glands and fever. The virus gains entry into the system through transmission or "flares up" from a previous contraction, rapidly creating open, scabbed sores, especially in ares with open sores due to atopic dermatitis.

Treatment:

Eczema herpeticum is a potentially life-threatening illness, and should be treated as soon as possible. Treatment includes anti-viral medications such as orally ingested or topical acyclovir, as well as diet changes, wet compresses and bedrest.
