Recurrent infection in the left thumb.
Infection 2013 December
INTRODUCTION: Infections of the hand may be associated with lymphangitis and lymphadenitis. In most cases, bacterial infections are responsible but these may be also due to viral infections.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We describe a clinical case of a recurrent infection in the left thumb of a health male. Bacterial and viral cultures were performed.
RESULTS: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 2 was isolated on viral culture and on direct fluorescent antibody testing; so, the final diagnosis was herpetic whitlow.
CONCLUSIONS: Herpetic whitlow should be considered in cases of recurrent finger infections.
