Concomitant oculoglandular and ulceroglandular fever due to herpes simplex virus type I.
Herpes simplex virus is a commonly encountered infectious agent in clinical practice. The syndromes with which it is usually associated are well described and generally easily recognized. This report documents that two uncommon clinical syndromes, ulceroglandular fever and oculoglandular fever, may be caused by this virus. Our patient's case was even more unusual in that both conditions occurred simultaneously.
