Herpes zoster: A case series with varied clinical presentations
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Herpes zoster (HZ) is a viral disease that clinically presents as a painful vesicular rash restricted to the distribution of a sensory nerve, unilaterally. It usually results from the reactivation of the DNA virus varicella zoster, which causes chicken pox. The condition is characterized by the occurrence of multiple, painful vesicles, and ulceration which shows a typical unilateral distribution. This case series of HZ infections is an attempt to present different clinical presentations of the disease, showing both the facial and oral manifestations, which are successfully managed by the appropriate medical management.
