A case of disseminated herpes simplex infection is reported in a 31-year-old renal transplant recipient. The patient presented with a unique clinical syndrome: high fever, severe sore throat with buccal and pharyngeal ulcerations, fulminant hepatitis, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia. The patient died from hepatic failure, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The diagnosis was made by positive herpes simplex virus culture from the throat, and was confirmed at autopsy by typical Cowdry's type A intranuclear inclusions in hepatocytes with positive herpes simplex virus culture from the liver. Review of the literature reveals that other reported cases have had very similar clinical findings, making disseminated herpes simplex infection with fulminant hepatitis a recognizable syndrome.
