Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) hepatitis in liver transplant patients is a rarely reported infective complication of HSV with severe consequences, often leading to fulminant hepatitis if left untreated. The clinical signs are often atypical, leading to under-reporting in the literature and potential delays in treatment. Our case report describes such atypical mucocutaneous lesions in a liver transplant recipient. We highlight the need for further reports, especially those with images, in order to aid the diagnosis of HSV infection, and to allow prompt treatment to prevent complications such as HSV hepatitis.
