[Ileocolitis caused by Herpes simplex virus type 2].
The authors report the case of a 51-year-old woman who was hospitalized for severe acute colitis. Sub-total colectomy was performed, due to clinical deterioration and resistance to treatment. The examination of the surgery specimen revealed a herpes-virus type 2 as the responsible pathogen agent. Complementary aciclovir treatment cured the patient.
