2.Herpes Zoster and abscess

3.Impetigo and cellulitis

4.Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection and abscess

Core temperature was measured to detect constitutional signs for systemic infection despite the absence of fever, chills and sweats on patient history. Skin swab of the erosions on the face was sent for viral PCR testing, Gram stain and bacterial culture. Samples of the thigh swelling were taken for bacterial culture using ultrasound-guided percutaneous aspiration, but the residual amount of pus was significant, with reoccurrence of abscess. Follow-up CT scans showed loculated abscesses within the left adductor muscles (Fig. 11.3).
