Herpes zoster is a viral infection caused due to the reactivation of varicella-zoster virus that is localized to a single dermatome unilaterally. The factors responsible for its reactivation are increasing age, immunosuppressive drugs, malignancies, chronic liver and renal diseases. Herpes zoster was found to be one of the cutaneous manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Various skin manifestations post-vaccination are being reported, which include injection site urticarial, maculopapular rash and positive dermographism. We report a patient of herpes zoster triggered by the viral vector (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19) coronavirus vaccine (recombinant).
带状疱疹是由水痘-带状疱疹病毒（varicella-zoster virus）重新激活引起的病毒性感染，该病毒局限于单侧单个皮节。导致其重新激活的因素包括年龄增长、免疫抑制剂药物、恶性肿瘤、慢性肝脏和肾脏疾病。现已发现带状疱疹是 2019 年冠状病毒病（coronavirus disease 2019，Covid-19）的皮肤表现之一。接种疫苗后还出现了各种皮肤表现，包括注射部位荨麻疹、斑丘疹和阳性皮肤划痕症。我们报告了一例由病毒载体（ChAdOx1 nCoV-19）冠状病毒疫苗（重组）引发的带状疱疹患者。
