Herpes zoster is an acute, cutaneous viral infection caused by the reactivation of varicella-zoster virus. Genital dermatomes are involved in only up to 2% of cases and are probably underrecognized. We present a series of 7 genital herpes zoster cases diagnosed in our Unit of Sexually Transmitted Diseases. None of our patients were positive for HIV test, and only one was taking immunosuppressive medication. We recommend the use of molecular testings to confirm the diagnosis of varicella-zoster virus or herpes simplex virus infection in all cases of genital herpes-like lesions.
带状疱疹是由水痘-带状疱疹病毒再激活引起的一种急性皮肤病毒感染。仅高达2%的病例累及生殖器皮节，可能未得到充分认识。我们报告了在我们性传播疾病科诊断的7例生殖器带状疱疹病例。我们的患者均HIV检测阴性，只有1例正在服用免疫抑制药物。我们建议对所有生殖器疱疹样病变病例使用分子检测来确诊水痘-带状疱疹病毒或单纯疱疹病毒感染。
