Abstract:
Herpes zoster (HZ) typically presents following reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in adult and geriatric patients with a history of prior varicella infection. Primary VZV infection in patients compliant with vaccine schedules and without any immunocompromising condition is rare, with reactivation leading to HZ being even rarer. This case report details one such example involving a 13-year-old immunocompetent and fully immunized male with HZ despite no history of VZV infection, as well as possible explanatory mechanisms for this uncommon presentation. This case report contributes to a growing body of literature on atypical HZ presentations in pediatric populations without any history of prior VZV infection or exposure.
摘要:
带状疱疹(HZ)通常在有水痘感染史的成人和老年患者中潜伏水痘-带状疱疹病毒(VZV)重新激活后出现。符合疫苗接种计划且没有任何免疫受损状况的患者的原发性VZV感染很少见,重新激活导致HZ更加罕见。该病例报告详述了一个这样的例子,涉及一名13岁的有免疫能力且完全免疫的男性,尽管没有VZV感染史,以及这种不常见的演示的可能的解释机制。此病例报告有助于越来越多的有关儿科人群中非典型HZ表现的文献,而没有任何VZV感染或暴露史。
