Herpes virus is the most common causative agent. KVE may occur in patients with Darier's disease, tinea cruris, allergic eczematous contact dermatitis, pemphigus vulgaris, laser application, use of topical pimecrolimus or tacrolimus, and mostly atopic dermatitis. The cornerstone of therapy is starting systemic antiviral medications immediately. In order to take the attention to the matter and discuss the therapy, we report a 4-year-old male patient with typical clinical features of Kaposi's varicelliform eruption that appeared on atopic dermatitis lesions.
