A 6 months old female infant presented with history of fever, cough and severe respiratory distress. There was past history of recurrent attacks of pneumonia. She succumbed to the illness after a hospital stay of 7 days. Postmortem revealed morphological evidence of cystic fibrosis along with herpes simplex infection of liver and adrenals. The co-existence of disseminated herpes simplex infection and cystic fibrosis is very rare.
