Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Abstract:Herpes zoster is a neurocutaneous viral infection caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV). Oral acyclovir is the treatment of choice and lowers the incidence of complications. HZ is usually a unilateral condition. Bilateral herpes zoster of two widely separated dermatomes is a rare condition. Herpes zoster involving simultaneously right and left axillary dermatome in a non-immuno-compromised 60-year-old male is being reported due to its rarity. Keywords:bilateral, herpes zoster, dermatome, non-immuno compromised.
