Herpes zoster is a relatively rare infectious disease in the pediatric population, as compared with adults, which is due to the reactivation of latent Varicella-Zoster virus. We report a 7-year-old child without any history of varicella, who first experienced skin pain and later presented skin lesions in dermatomal distribution. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with herpes zoster. We aim to emphasize that herpes zoster could occur in immunocompetent children and may be due to the reactivation of the vaccine strain or previous subclinical infection.
与成人相比，带状疱疹在儿科人群中是一种相对罕见的传染病，这是由潜伏的水痘-带状疱疹病毒重新激活所致。我们报告一名7岁儿童，既往无水痘病史，最初出现皮肤疼痛，随后出现沿皮节分布的皮肤损害。最终，该患者被诊断为带状疱疹。我们旨在强调，免疫功能正常的儿童也可能发生带状疱疹，可能是由于疫苗株的重新激活或既往亚临床感染所致。
