Abstract
Darier's disease (DD) is a rare genodermatosis of autosomal-dominant inheritance which is characterized by flesh-colored to brownish hyperkeratotic papules and plaques with a greasy and warty texture. DD runs a life-long course with exacerbations and remissions. Despite the assumed benign nature of the disease, DD has been linked to a variety of other diseases and complications. Kaposi's varicelliform eruption (KVE) is a disseminated cutaneous infection which is generally caused by herpes simplex virus in the setting of underlying primary dermatosis such as atopic dermatitis, pemphigus vulgaris, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, and DD. Here we report a case of DD which is complicated with KVE.
