Resumo: Herpes zoster is an infectious disease caused by the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus in the cranial or dorsal sensorial ganglia, characterized by a vesicular skin rash affecting one or more dermatomes. It is more common in the elderly, in association with the decline of the cell-mediated immunity in advanced age. In young adults, herpes zoster infection correlates more frequently with clinical conditions of low immunity. This paper reports a clinical case of herpes zoster with an atypical presentation, both with regard to the location and the high number of recurrences in a young immunocompetent female patient. The author discusses the case, based on the current scientific evidence, emphasizing the symptoms, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, impact on quality of life and management.

É mais comum em idosos, eventualmente relacionado com o declínio da imunidade celular com a idade. Em adultos jovens, o herpes zoster correlaciona-se com frequência com condições clínicas de baixa imunidade. Esse artigo aborda um caso clínico de herpes zoster com apresentação atípica, tanto no que diz respeito à localização quanto ao elevado número de recorrências, em adulta jovem imunocompetente. O objetivo é discutir o caso, com base na evidência científica atual, enfatizando-se a sintomatologia, apresentação clínica, diagnóstico diferencial, impacto na qualidade de vida, conduta e tratamento.Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia2016-12-26T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.74.4.678oai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/678Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology; Vol 74 No 4 (2016): Outubro - Dezembro; 381-385Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia; v. 74 n. 4 (2016): Outubro - Dezembro; 381-3852182-24092182-2395reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/678https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.74.4.678https://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/678/462Diniz Silva, Ana Cristinainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-10-06T12:35:00Zoai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/678Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:11:00.002853Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
