OBJECTIVE: To report the association of Kaposi varicelliform eruption (KVE) with 0.1% tacrolimus ointment treatment of atopic blepharitis in a patient with atopic dermatitis (AD). METHOD: We encountered KVE in a 20-year-old male patient with atopic blepharitis and AD who developed generalized herpetic lesions on his face 28 days after commencement of treatment. RESULT: The lesions resolved quickly with intravenous acyclovir treatment. CONCLUSION: Ophthalmologists should be well aware of KVE as a complication of immunosuppressive treatment in patients with atopic blepharitis. |
