- The patient's skin condition involved widespread vesicles and pustules that rapidly progressed over four months, and laboratory tests confirmed he was positive for HSV-1 with elevated IgE levels and decreased immune cell counts.
- Treatment with valaciclovir and other medications led to significant improvement, with the skin lesions resolving completely within a week, emphasizing the risk of severe viral eruptions in patients with existing skin conditions following viral infections.
