The Authors describe a case report of a girl of 7 years affected by visceral leishmaniasis (VL) complicated by herpes zoster (Hz). Hz infection is unusual in paediatric age, but it may complicate immunodeficiency states. VL causes, as well known, T cell immunity depression: Hz infection could be facilitated by this situation.
作者描述了一例7岁女童的病例报告，该女童患有内脏利什曼病（VL）并伴有带状疱疹（Hz）。Hz感染在儿童期并不常见，但可能并发免疫缺陷状态。众所周知，VL会导致T细胞免疫抑制：这种情况可能会促使Hz感染。
