Here we present a case of an 11-year-old girl having herpetic whitlow by autoinoculation of herpes gingivostomatitis during a febrile neutropenia period while being treated with intense chemotherapy consisting of fludarabin, cytosine arabinoside and idarubicin for a T cell leukemia relapse

Herpetik dolama, parmağın herpes simpleks virüs (HSV) tip 1 veya 2 ile enfeksiyonu sonucu oluşur. Sıklıkla herpes gingivostomatitinin otoinokulasyonu sonucu gelişir ve genellikle elin tek parmağı tutulur. Biz de kliniğimizde relaps T hücreli lösemi tanısıyla izlediğimiz 11 yaşında kız hastada fludarabin, sitozin arabinosid ve idarubisinden oluşan yoğun kemoterapi sonrası gelişen febril nötropeni atağı sırasında herpes gingivostomatitinin otoinokulasyonu sonucu oluşan herpetik dolama olgusunu sunduk.
