Abstract

Ten adult patients referred to the Department of Dermatology and Venereology at Akademiska Hospital, Uppsala, from different surgical units due to recurrent herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections in the hand, were investigated. At recurrence, virus isolation and typing revealed genital HSV type 2 virus in nine out of ten patients indicating that recurrent HSV infections located in the hand should be looked upon as a part of a venereal disease.
