On the 4th day of his presentation, the histology results returned with features consistent with herpesvirus infection. Intraepidermal vesiculation, epidermal necrolysis, and acantholysis were demonstrated with ballooning degeneration of keratinocytes, ground‐glass intranuclear inclusions, and multinucleated giant cells [Figure 4]. DIF was negative. On the same day, the VZV PCR results also returned positive, establishing the diagnosis of varicella infection.
