Herpes zoster is rare in healthy and immunocompetent children. While disseminated presentations of zoster are often concerning for underlying immunodeficiency, non-disseminated zoster can also be a presenting illness in such patients. Here, we report a case of non-disseminated herpes zoster in a presumably healthy immunized child that led to a diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus infection.
带状疱疹在健康和免疫功能正常的儿童中很少见。虽然带状疱疹的播散性表现通常提示潜在的免疫缺陷,但非播散性带状疱疹也可能是此类患者的首发疾病。在这里,我们报告了一例疑似健康免疫接种儿童的非播散性带状疱疹病例,该病例导致了人类免疫缺陷病毒感染的诊断。
