We present a case of severe Kaposi's varicelliform eruption in mild atopic dermatitis complicated by rhabdomyolysis. It is rare, but HSV infection in severe AD patients can lead to multiorgan complications. We should know that early recognition of signs for severe complications even in mild AD and prompt administration of sufficient amounts of antiviral are important in clinical practice.
