AN INTERESTING CASE OF HERPES ZOSTER

AN INTERESTING CASE OF HERPES ZOSTER Abstract The following report of a case of herpes zoster was thought to be a most interesting one. While virus studies were not done, the relationships of virus immunology are unusual. Herpes zoster is also not too common in a patient this age. T. R.,* white girl, age 2½ years, was first seen on May 20, 1955, with a typical herpes zoster down the right leg even involving the sole of the foot. There were streaks of grouped vesicular and bullous lesions from the buttocks to the bottom of the foot (Figs. 1 and 2). The symptoms were typical, with burning pain and groups of vesicles. A seropurulent exudate was present in unruptured lesions. The patient's mother gave the following history: When she was seven months pregnant with this child, she had chicken pox. It ran a "normal course" and subsided with apparently no ill effects on herself or the child. References 1. This patient was referred to me by Dr. Harold Cassady of Cincinnati. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png A.M.A. Archives of Dermatology American Medical Association
