As the understanding of COVID-19 infection becomes better, it is being recognized as a complex multisystem pathology rather than just affecting the lungs. Several ocular findings have been documented by researchers in individuals infected with COVID-19, and ocular symptoms may even be the first presenting feature of COVID-19 infection in 2.26% individuals. Several countries have started vaccination with inactivated or live vaccines to combat this pandemic, and varied side effects have been reported after vaccination. Few cases of herpes zoster have previously been reported in elderly patients with comorbidities after receiving COVID-19 vaccines. In this article, the authors described 2 interesting cases of herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) after receiving a live COVID-19 vaccine. The first case was a 35-year-old immunocompetent man who developed HZO 3 days postvaccine. The second case was a 40-year-old immunocompetent man who developed HZO 28 days postvaccine. To the best of our knowledge, no literature to date has described HZO after live vaccine.
随着对 COVID-19 感染的认识不断加深，人们逐渐认识到它是一种复杂的多系统疾病，而不仅仅影响肺部。研究人员已经在感染 COVID-19 的个体中记录了几种眼部发现，并且眼部症状甚至可能是 COVID-19 感染的首发症状，占 2.26%。为了应对这一流行病，一些国家已经开始使用灭活或活疫苗进行接种，但接种后报告了各种副作用。此前，在接受 COVID-19 疫苗接种后，患有合并症的老年患者中曾有少数带状疱疹病例报告。在本文中，作者描述了 2 例接种活 COVID-19 疫苗后发生的带状疱疹性眼病（HZO）的有趣病例。第一例是一名 35 岁免疫功能正常的男性，在接种疫苗后 3 天发生 HZO。第二例是一名 40 岁免疫功能正常的男性，在接种疫苗后 28 天发生 HZO。据我们所知，迄今为止尚无文献描述活疫苗接种后发生 HZO。
