Eczema herpeticum is the cutaneous dissemination of a viral infection in the setting of an underlying chronic skin condition. We would like to report a rare case of 18- year old man with a pemphigus foliaceus who developed disseminated cutaneous herpes simplex infection. In this report, we want to emphasize the difficulties in the diagnosis of eczema herpeticum when it occurs on the background of pemphigus.
