Abstract

Aggressive ulcerative HSV stomatitis was observed in a patient 10 months after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The patient was affected by acute myeloid leukemia (LMA) in second remission and, after bone marrow transplantation, supported a severe graft versus host disease. Intravenous acyclovir was administered during 22 days and ulcerative stomatitis completely healed.
