In patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), various cutaneous symptoms have been observed. Herpes zoster (HZ) is an infectious skin disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) that, after a primary chickenpox infection, persists dormant in the dorsal root ganglia of cutaneous nerves. Unusual prolonged dermatological symptoms from recovered COVID-19 patients have rarely been recorded. In this report, we describe a case of HZ following recovery from COVID-19.
在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)患者中,已观察到各种皮肤症状。带状疱疹(HZ)是一种由水痘-带状疱疹病毒(VZV)引起的感染性皮肤病,在原发性水痘感染后,该病毒潜伏在皮肤神经的背根神经节中。康复的COVID-19患者出现异常长时间的皮肤症状鲜有记录。在本报告中,我们描述了一例COVID-19康复后发生带状疱疹的病例。
