Abstract
This is a common cutaneous infection caused by a virus which is readily identified on electron microscopy. Grouped vesicles are typical and the condition is inflammatory and painful. Regional lymphadenopathy occurs and recurrent attacks of the infection characteristically are seen at the same site. The virus lies dormant between cutaneous infections in the sensory nerve root.
