title: [Atypical herpetic manifestations].
abstract: Herpetic lesions may be readily identified by modern virological techniques. In immunocompromised patients, the herpetic lesions are often atypical and even completely different from conventional forms; in these patients, the course of herpes virus infections may be life-threatening. Therefore, early diagnosis of herpetic infections is essential in order to begin with acyclovir treatment in time.
