Disseminated herpes simplex virus type 1 treated with ixekizumab in a patient with erythrodermic psoriasis: A case report

This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of managing EP in the setting of biologic therapy. Disseminated cutaneous HSV-1 should be considered in immunosuppressed patients presenting with new vesicular eruptions, and prompt PCR testing with early antiviral therapy is essential. A multidisciplinary approach is critical to balance immunosuppression for disease control with infection risk.

Abstract

Disseminated cutaneous HSV-1 should be considered in immunosuppressed patients presenting with new vesicular eruptions, and prompt PCR testing with early antiviral therapy is essential. A multidisciplinary approach is critical to balance immunosuppression for disease control with infection risk.
