{Abstract}: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection, also commonly known as chickenpox, is a communicable disease most often contracted in childhood via contact, airborne, or droplet transmission. After about a two-week incubation period, patients can experience a prodromal phase, which includes a pruritic vesicular blistering rash with associated constitutional symptoms such as fever, headache, malaise, muscle aches, fatigue, and sore throat. Symptoms are often self-limiting and only require supportive care and observation. We report a case of a 54-year-old female who presented with an unusual background history and was found to have a rare manifestation of herpes zoster virus, presenting as herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO).
