      infection.

AB  - Our patient, we believe, experienced a primary HSV-2 infection manifested by 
      fever, malaise, and orogenital mucocutaneous lesions. With resolution of systemic 
      manifestations, and at a time of theorized rise in HSV-2 antibody levels, he had 
      thrombocytopenic purpura which persisted for several weeks. An immune disorder 
      secondary to HSV-2 infection similar to that of postrubella infection is 
      postulated. If this theory is correct, severe immune thrombocytopenic purpura is 
      yet one more of the many observed complications of HSV infection.
