Abstract

We describe three cases of disseminated herpes zoster occurring in the elderly, and discuss the investigation and diagnosis of this condition. The presentation may be atypical with excoriated papular lesions. We suggest that disseminated herpes zoster does occur in the non-immunocompromised elderly patient, and is sometimes overlooked.

摘要

我们描述了三例发生在老年人中的播散性带状疱疹病例，并讨论了这种疾病的检查与诊断。其表现可能不典型，有抓破的丘疹性皮损。我们认为，播散性带状疱疹确实会发生在非免疫功能低下的老年患者中，且有时会被忽视。
