Abstract

Varicella-zoster virus infection causes 2 distinct forms of disease: varicella (commonly known as chickenpox) and herpes zoster (HZ)(commonly known as shingles). Primary varicella-zoster virus infection results in the diffuse vesicular rash that is characteristic of chickenpox. Following primary infection, varicella-zoster virus remains dormant in the dorsal root ganglia. This latent phase usually lasts for several decades before reactivation occurs. Varicella-zoster virus reactivation normally presents as HZ in middle-aged adults. A number of cutaneous skin manifestations have appeared in relation to the newly diagnosed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and continue to emerge every day. We report a case of HZ complication in a COVID-19-positive woman who was 27 weeks pregnant.

摘要

水痘-带状疱疹病毒感染引起 2 种不同形式的疾病：水痘（俗称水痘）和带状疱疹（俗称带状疱疹）。原发性水痘-带状疱疹病毒感染导致特征性的水痘弥漫性水疱皮疹。原发性感染后，水痘-带状疱疹病毒在背根神经节中休眠。这种潜伏期通常持续数十年，然后才会重新激活。水痘-带状疱疹病毒的重新激活通常以中年成年人的带状疱疹表现出来。与新诊断的 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行有关的许多皮肤皮肤表现不断出现，并且每天都在继续出现。我们报告了一例 COVID-19 阳性、27 周妊娠的妇女合并带状疱疹的病例。
