Herpes zoster is mainly a disease of the elderly. Its occurrence in younger age should be viewed with suspicion. A 9-year-old boy presented with herpes zoster ophthalmicus. He had a history of abdominal surgery one and half years back during which he had received blood transfusion. A year following the surgery he developed general malaise and fever with progressive weight loss. He was treated by local doctors. Subsequently he developed eruptions of blisters around right eye for a duration of 8 days, with which he presented to the department of ophthalmology, Pt JNM Medical College, Raipur. On investigations he was found to have infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Systemic acyclovir along with antiretroviral treatment was started, to which he showed favourable response.
带状疱疹主要是一种老年疾病。在较年轻患者中发生时应引起怀疑。一名9岁男孩患有眼部带状疱疹。他在一年半前有腹部手术史，术中接受了输血。手术后一年，他出现全身不适、发热并伴有体重逐渐减轻。他接受了当地医生的治疗。随后，他右眼周围出现水疱疹，持续了8天，之后他前往赖布尔JNM医学院眼科就诊。经检查，发现他感染了人类免疫缺陷病毒。开始使用全身性阿昔洛韦联合抗逆转录病毒治疗，他对此显示出良好反应。
