Interesting Case of Disseminated Herpes Infection in A Healthy Female Patient Resembling Monkeypox

Abstract

Normally we find cases of disseminated cutaneous herpes-simplex in immunocompromised individuals. With the advent of monkeypox, many reports have been falsely purporting cases of this disease when the lesions were either herpes simplex or an unspecified skin infection. In this case report we document the finding of a healthy 31-year-old female with herpetic lesions on her arms, legs, and vulvar area.
