Herpes Zoster caused by reactivation of latent Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV). The rare disseminated form of it occurred mainly in immunocompromised patients. We hereby present the first case of atypical disseminated herpes zoster in a 54-year-old woman admitted with serious COVID. In this case, disseminated herpes zoster developed by purpuric lesions mimicking vasculitis and cutaneous drug reaction. Hence, this case serves as a reminder for considering atypical presentations of cutaneous disorders in immunocompromised patients, especially those affected with severe COVID.
带状疱疹由潜伏的水痘-带状疱疹病毒(VZV)重新激活引起。其罕见的播散型主要发生在免疫功能低下的患者中。我们在此报告首例非典型播散性带状疱疹病例,患者为一名54岁女性,因严重的新冠肺炎入院。在该病例中,播散性带状疱疹表现为类似血管炎和皮肤药物反应的紫癜性皮损。因此,该病例提醒我们要考虑免疫功能低下患者皮肤疾病的非典型表现,尤其是那些患有严重新冠肺炎的患者。
