Herpes zoster is an acute, cutaneous viral infection caused by the reactivation of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) that is the cause of varicella. It is an acute neurological disease which can often lead to serious postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Different nerves can be included with the skin rash in the area of its enervation especially cranial nerves (CV) and intercostal nerves.
In this report we present a patient with herpes zoster which involved ulnar nerve with skin rash in the region of ulnar innervations in women with no disease previously diagnosed. The failure of her immune system may be explained by great emotional stress and overwork she had been exposed to with neglecting proper nutrition in that period.
Herpes zoster may involve any nerve with characteristic skin rash in the area of its innervations, and failure in immune system which leads reactivation of VZV may be caused by other factors besides the underlying illness.
带状疱疹是由水痘-带状疱疹病毒（VZV）再激活引起的急性皮肤病毒感染，VZV也是水痘的病因。它是一种急性神经疾病，常可导致严重的带状疱疹后神经痛（PHN）。在其支配区域，皮疹可累及不同神经，尤其是脑神经（CV）和肋间神经。
在本报告中，我们呈现了一名患有带状疱疹的患者，其尺神经受累，在尺神经支配区域出现皮疹，该患者为女性，之前未诊断出患有任何疾病。她免疫系统的衰竭可能是由于那段时间她承受了巨大的情绪压力和过度劳累，且忽视了合理营养。
带状疱疹可累及任何神经，在其支配区域出现特征性皮疹，免疫系统衰竭导致VZV再激活可能是由潜在疾病以外的其他因素引起的。
