However, only a few case reports on VZV\/HSV co\u2010infections exist.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:bold>Objective<\/jats:bold>\u2002To identify and characterize patients with concurrent VZV and HSV infection at the same body site.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Subjects\/Methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> In 1718 patients, the presence of VZV and HSV in suspicious skin lesions was investigated by polymerase chain reaction analysis. Clinical characteristics of co\u2010infected patients were compared with matched control patients infected with either VZV or HSV. The data are discussed in the context of an extensive review of the literature.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Twenty (1.2%) of 1718 patients were infected with both VZV and HSV at the same body site. The mean age was 54\u00a0years (range, 2\u201383). The clinical diagnosis was zoster in 65%, herpes simplex in 20%, varicella in 10% and erythema multiforme in 5% of cases. The trigeminus region was affected in 60% and the trunk in 25%. Involvement of the head was most commonly associated with a severe course of disease and with older age.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> Simultaneous VZV\/HSV infection is rare but can occur in immunocompetent patients, which is often overlooked. The majority of cases is localized to the trigeminus region and affects elderly people.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2008.02587.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,27]],"date-time":"2008-02-27T16:26:20Z","timestamp":1204129580000},"page":"722-728","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Identification
