Herpes vegetans is an atypical presentation of HSV that occurs in immunocompromised patients, typically those with human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Herpes vegetans is characterized by hyperkeratotic, exophytic, and, sometimes, ulcerated nodules, often with a chronic and persistent course.

Article Synopsis
- Human herpesvirus type 7 (HHV-7) is a rare virus typically linked to mild illnesses but is increasingly associated with severe central nervous system infections like meningitis, particularly in adolescents.
- A case is presented involving a 12-year-old girl who exhibited symptoms such as high fever, headaches, and vomiting, initially misdiagnosed with acute tonsillitis and not improving with typical treatments.
- Upon further investigation, HHV-7 was identified, leading to a treatment regimen including antiviral and anti-inflammatory medications, showcasing the need for greater awareness and understanding of HHV-7's impact on otherwise healthy adolescents.
