We report the case of a 23-year-old male burn patient with an unusual herpes simplex virus (HSV) skin manifestation. The clinical symptoms and results of HSV type 1 (HSV-1) UL23 polymorphism analysis from saliva and lesional skin underscores the need for performing molecular analysis of HSV-1 infections in burned patients presenting unusual skin lesions.
