Herpetic infections in body cavity fluids are unusual and are rarely reported in the cytology literature. We report a case of a 74‐yr‐old woman who developed ascites after undergoing an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for biliary colic. Cytology of peritoneal fluid revealed changes in a herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection that was confirmed by immunocytological staining. Diagn. Cytopathol. 2005;32:44–46. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
