Abstract

Eczema herpeticum je značajna, premda relativno rijetka virusna infekcija koju je prepoznao i opisao austrijski dermatolog Moritz Kaposi još 1887. godine. Radi se o diseminiranoj kožnoj infekciji uzrokovanoj herpes simplex virusima kod bolesnika s raznim kroničnim bolestima kože poput atopijskog dermatitisa, ali i kod imunokompromitarnih ili opečenih bolesnika. EH može progredirati do diseminirane infekcije i smrti. Dostupnost antivirusnih lijekova kao što je aciklovir značajno je umanjila smrtnost. U radu ću prikazati bolesnicu oboljelu od ove bolesti te novije mogućnosti dijagnostike i liječenja.

Abstract (english)

Eczema herpeticum (EH) is a significant, although relatively rare viral infection which was identified and described by an Austrian dermatologist named Moritz Kaposi in 1887. It is a disseminated cutaneous infection caused by the herpes simplex virus in patients with various chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, as well as in patients that are immunocompromised and patients with burn injuries. EH can progress to a disseminated infection and finally lead to death. The availability of antiviral drugs such as acyclovir has significantly decreased the mortality rate of this condition. In my graduate thesis I am going to present a patient suffering from this disease along with the recent diagnostic and therapeutic options.
