Herpes simplex virus type 2 and cytomegalovirus perigenital ulcer in an HIV infected woman. Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology. 2018 Sep; 36(3): 441-4430255-08571998-3646http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/198799We report a case of mucocutaneous Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)-2 and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in a 39-year-old female with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, who presented with a perigenital ulcer. The patient was receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART) for 3 months before presentation. Scraping from the perigenital ulcer was positive for HSV-2 and Treponema pallidum using polymerase chain reactions (PCR). The extent and duration of the lesions led us to consider the possibility of coinfection with CMV. The patient also tested positive for CMV by PCR. On subsequent follow-up after 8 weeks, the genital lesions had healed completely. This is possibly ascribable to the ART, which led to significant immune reconstitution.Cytomegalovirusherpes simplex virushuman immunodeficiency virusJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Microbiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, IndiaDepartment of Dermatology and Venereology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India
