Summary: We report a case of herpes zoster in a 10-month old male infant. This otherwise healthy boy had no prior history of varicella and parents denied any exposure to varicella-zoster virus (VZV) during pregnancy. A household exposure to varicella occurred at 1 month of age. A diagnosis of herpes zoster was established on clinical grounds and confirmed by serological assays. He was treated with oral acyclovir, with complete resolution of lesions without sequelae. Clinical and laboratorial evaluation did not uncover any underlying illness. In this setting, we discuss some peculiar aspects of VZV infection in this age group and review current recommendations for the management of herpes zoster in pediatric patients.

Apresentava manifestações clínicas típicas e o diagnóstico foi corroborado pelo estudo serológico. Foi tratado com aciclovir por via oral. Neste caso, realçamos a ausência de história prévia de varicela, tendo-se registado presumível primeiro contacto com o vírus VZV ao 1º mês de vida quando a irmã mais velha teve varicela. Neste contexto, revemos as características e a abordagem clínica desta entidade neste grupo etário.Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia2011-06-23T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.69.2.614oai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/614Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology; Vol 69 No 2 (2011): Abril / Junho; 261-264Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia; v. 69 n. 2 (2011): Abril / Junho; 261-2642182-24092182-2395reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/614https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.69.2.614https://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/614/436Serra, DavidSchonenberger de Oliveira, HugoFigueiredo, Américoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-10-06T12:34:59Zoai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/614Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:31:11.898433Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
