Hailey-Hailey disease associated with herpetic eczema—the value of the Tzanck smear test
Background: Herpetic eczema is a herpetic superinfection of a preexisting skin disease. Hailey-Hailey disease is an autosomal dominant dermatosis that is clinically characterized by flaccid vesicles and rashes in intertriginous areas. The coexistence of those findings is a rare condition; only five...

Case report: A 38-year-old man had been diagnosed with Hailey-Hailey disease for 13 years.

The man showed remission in the infection after 10 days under treatment with acyclovir. Conclusion: Research on the concomitance of infection by the herpes virus must be performed in the exacerbations of Hailey-Hailey disease, and, in those situations, the quick diagnosis through skin cytology makes the early treatment possible.
