Herpes zoster reactivation occurs in patients who had primary varicella infection, afflicting mainly the elderly and the immunocompromised. However, it is rare that varicella infection develop after zoster reactivation. We report on a patient with underlying HIV/AIDS who had two previous episodes of herpes zoster and still developed varicella infection, complicated by pneumonitis and polyradiculitis. We also review the relevant literature.
带状疱疹再激活发生在曾有原发性水痘感染的患者中,主要影响老年人和免疫功能低下者。然而,带状疱疹再激活后发生水痘感染的情况很少见。我们报告了一名患有潜在人类免疫缺陷病毒/获得性免疫综合征(HIV/AIDS)的患者,该患者曾有两次带状疱疹发作,但仍发生了水痘感染,并伴有肺炎和多发性神经根炎。我们还回顾了相关文献。
