We report the case of a patient with AIDS, Kaposi's sarcoma and persistent herpes simplex type 2 proctitis who died of herpes simplex 2 pneumonitis following an episode of nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis. This rare complication of persistent herpes simplex mucosal infection must be considered in patients with AIDS suffering from severe pneumonitis with negative bronchoalveolar lavage.
