A 9-month-old infant was diagnosed as having impetigo of the central face. Her clinical condition deteriorated despite treatment with intravenous antibiotics. Viral and bacterial cultures grew herpes simplex virus type I and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. The patient's condition improved rapidly with antiviral treatment in combination with antibiotics. Recognition of the possibility of a combined viral and bacterial infection is important so that adequate treatment is not delayed.
