A previously healthy 25-year-old nongovernmental organization volunteer in Malawi developed acute swelling of both lips and a “cold sore” on the inner aspect of the lower lip and some mild patchy erythema to his face and ears. He reported no fever or pain, but did notice some tingling of the lips and general malaise. He denied any new intimate partners, foods, or other exposures. The patient reported no history of previous symptomatic herpes simplex virus infection. His only significant medical history consisted of two episodes of poison oak dermatitis. He was begun empirically on diphenhydramine and subsequently on acyclovir without improvement.Upon reexamination, the patient was noted to have developed cheilitis and angioedema of the face (Figure 1). The lips were edematous, eroded, and diffusely erythematous, predominantly on the left. An erythematous, nonblanching, pruritic rash with subcutaneous edema also had spread over his left face, extending up from his lips over his cheeks and nose and up to his orbits and forehead. Periorbital edema with ptosis was also apparent on the left side. He denied any tongue swelling and had no difficulty with speech, breathing, or swallowing.
