Abstract
Erythema multiforme is one of the acute and recurrent skin lesions that are usually seen soon after HSV infection. The distribution of lesions is usually symmetrical favoring distal extremities. Rarely, EM can present with dermatomal distribution. The association between HSV and Erythema multiforme is well established in the literature. On the other hand, only a few cases were reported suggesting HZV infection to be a trigger of Erythema multiforme. Here we presented a case where a patient devolved dermatomal Erythema multiforme after he was diagnosed with HZV. Also, we provide below a review of artides of the same clinical association.
