AB Most  of  the  viruses  in  this  chapter  cause  skin  lesions  as  their  primary  clinical  manifestation.  As  described  in  Table  37–1,  herpes  simplex  viruses  (HSV)  1  and  2  and  varicella-zoster  virus  cause  vesicles.  Human  herpesvirus-6  causes  roseola  infantum  characterized  by  a  pink  macular  or  maculopapular  rash  on  the  trunk.  Human  herpesvirus  8  causes  Kaposi’s  sarcoma  (KS)  characterized  by  purple  macular  or  nodular  lesions.
