This report is about a 58-year-old female patient with generalized herpes simplex virus exanthema. The virus was detected not only in the skin eruptions but also in rinsing liquid from the throat. Its typical feature revealed it to be herpes simplex virus Type I. On the basis of similar cases which have been described in literature, we point out that it is necessary to carry out virological and serological tests in cases of uncertain vesico-pustular or erythema exsudativum multiforme like exanthemas. These exanthemas must be separated from the postherpetic erythema exsudativum multiforme because of the identified virus.
