title: Papular (erosive) herpes genitalis. A clinical variant in sarcoid and pregnancy.
abstract: A unique papular (erosive) variant of herpes genitalis is described in a patient with sarcoid and in 1 who was pregnant. The occurrence of this unique expression of herpes infection in two conditions associated with immunologic changes seems more than incidental. It is suggested that patients presenting with papular (erosive) herpes genitalis be studied for underlying immune deficiency.
