title: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome manifested by chronic primary genital herpes.
abstract: Herpes genitalis is commonly seen by the obstetrician-gynecologist. Prolonged persistence of herpes is unusual and may herald an underlying disorder. A case of chronic primary herpes is presented, in which the diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome was delayed because of a low degree of suspicion.
