Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (RHS) is a rare complication of latent varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection that can occur in immunocompetent host. It usually involves ipsilateral facial paralysis, ear pain and facial vesicles. Disseminated herpes zoster is another complication of VZV infection typically seen in immunocompromised hosts. We describe a patient with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who presented simultaneously with RHS and disseminated herpes zoster. While other complications have been documented to coexist with RHS, to our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature of concurrent RHS with disseminated herpes zoster.
拉姆齐·亨特综合征(RHS)是潜伏性水痘-带状疱疹病毒(VZV)感染的一种罕见并发症,可发生于免疫功能正常的宿主。它通常累及同侧面部麻痹、耳痛和面部水疱。播散性带状疱疹是VZV感染的另一种并发症,通常见于免疫功能低下的宿主。我们描述了一名复发性慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)患者,该患者同时出现RHS和播散性带状疱疹。虽然已有文献记载其他并发症可与RHS共存,但据我们所知,这是文献中首次报道的RHS与播散性带状疱疹同时发生的病例。
