[The generalized form of herpes zoster in a patient with mycosis fungoides]. 1989

S Iu Kilinskas

The described case is marked for a dissemination of the skin process, its severity, and manifest intoxication. A considerable reduction of the body reactivity because of mycosis fungoides is responsible for the development of the generalized process; another reason is prolonged intake of corticosteroids and cytostatics for the underlying condition.
