title: [Herpes virus hominis diseases (author's transl)].
abstract: In a 14-year-old girl treated with cytostatics because of leukaemia a severe and chronic atypical herpes virus hominis infection occurred. The same disease also occurred in a 30-year-old man under immunosuppression after a renal transplant. The skin reactions posed diagnostic and therapeutic problems. In both cases withdrawal of the cytostatic agent or drastic reduction of the immunosuppressive drug were successful therapeutically.
