Abstract
Kaposi's varicelliform eruption (KVE) is an infection produced by the cutaneous dissemination of herpes virus type 1 or 2. Usually this disease has been described in atopic patients. In this report we present an HIV-positive woman with a Kaposi's varicelliform eruption that started after skin resurfacing with a laser. This is the first report, to the best of our knowledge, of Kaposi's varicelliform eruption after laser resurfacing. The immunodepressed status of the patient may have played a role in her infection.
