Examination of the scalp revealed a diffuse hair loss and no drug eruptions [Figure 1]. The color and the texture of the hair were normal.[meajo.org]
Once the infection has been triggered, it may run its course and disappear, in much the same way that cold sores do, but the HS infection tends to recur; such recurrences are prone to complications, the most characteristic of which is a type of corneal eruption[waterdownoptometric.ca]
In primary HSV, there is usually a mixed follicular and papillary conjunctivitis, which may be accompanied by vesicular eruptions on the eyelids that progress to pustules. Dendritic ulcers are rarely associated with a primary HSV infection.[healio.com]
Major precipitating factors were: history of minor ocular trauma in 20%; fever in 15%; and exanthematous skin eruptions in 2.5% cases. Bilateral herpetic keratitis was seen in 15% of patients. The average age of the bilateral cases was 40 years.[ijo.in]
