چکیده
218 Indian Dermatology Online Journal | Volume 8 | Issue 3 | May‐June 2017 Many viruses including HHV6 and HHV7 have been proposed as causative agents for pityriasis rosea, although there is no conclusive evidence. Here, we presented a case of pityriasis rosea coexisting with oral HSV1 infection. Our case is unique because purpuric pityriasis rosea has not been associated with HSV1 previously. Consequently, we suggest that HSV1 may play role in the etiopathogenesis of the disease, and antiviral therapy may be the treatment of choice for extensive and resistant lesions.
