Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) is a rare, severe complication of varicella-zoster virus reactivation in the geniculate ganglion, characterized by hearing loss, pain, and vesicles in the ear or mouth along with ipsilateral facial palsy. Although it is rare, it is more commonly found with immunodeficiency conditions. We report a case of a 35-year-old human immunodeficiency virus positive male, having CD4+ count of 336/μl, who presented with RHS and had vertigo, painful vesicular eruptions on the right ear and unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. He was treated immediately with valacyclovir and prednisolone, and the complete recovery was achieved at 6 months after the onset.
拉姆齐·亨特综合征(RHS)是膝状神经节中水痘-带状疱疹病毒再激活引起的一种罕见的严重并发症,其特征为听力丧失、疼痛、耳部或口腔出现水疱以及同侧面神经麻痹。尽管它很罕见,但在免疫缺陷情况下更常见。我们报告一例35岁的男性艾滋病病毒阳性患者,其CD4 + 细胞计数为336/μl,出现了拉姆齐·亨特综合征,伴有眩晕、右耳疼痛性水疱疹和单侧感音神经性听力损失。他立即接受了伐昔洛韦和泼尼松龙治疗,并在发病后6个月完全康复。
