Herpes Zoster (HZ) lesions are well known to heal with keloids. As immunity plays an important role in the development of abnormal scars and keloids, the latter is unusual in HIV where immunity is low. We report a rare case of recurrent HZ in an HIV-positive male where the lesions have healed with formation of keloids in both episodes. Within 50 days of last episode, he had an attack of herpes progenitalis.
带状疱疹(HZ)皮损愈合后形成瘢痕疙瘩是众所周知的。由于免疫在异常瘢痕和瘢痕疙瘩的形成中起重要作用,而在免疫力低下的HIV患者中出现瘢痕疙瘩的情况并不常见。我们报告了1例HIV阳性男性复发性HZ的罕见病例,其两次发作的皮损愈合后均形成了瘢痕疙瘩。在上一次发作后的50天内,他又出现了生殖器疱疹发作。
