摘要
We report on a patient who presented with an unusual manifestation of primary herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection. Furthermore, this case again shows that even the correct use of a condom has limited protecting value. We emphasize the usefulness of informing patients carefully about transmission risks of HSV.
