ABSTRACT
This study was conducted on 28 patients classified into two groups. Group I included 14 patients with recurrent herpes labialis [it was further classified into group A [active herpes labialis] and group B [in between attacks]]. Group II included 14 patients with recurrent furunculosis in addition to a control group including 12 healthy subjects. Serum iron was estimated. Group I showed higher serum iron than controls either in active or in between attacks, while group II showed lower serum iron than the control group. This denoted that iron deficiency or iron overload increased susceptibility to infection
