- Title
Vesiculobullous Lesion on the Right Fifth Toe.
- Authors
Fischer, Randall G.; Livingood, Jennifer C.
- Abstract
This article reports that viral culture of the aspirate obtained from the right fifth toe during surgery grew herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Clinical differentiation of lesions associated with herpetic whitlow from those associated with paronychia or felon may be difficult, because the lesions can have a similar appearance. Lymphangitis at the time of presentation to the emergency department strongly suggested bacterial infection, and it is likely that HSV-1 infection had a superimposed bacterial component.
