Abstract

Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a common viral infectious agent causing chickenpox in childhood. Herpes zoster is a latent infection that affects the dorsal root ganglion cells after primary VZV infection. Herpes zoster is usually seen in immunocompromised children. We present two immunocompetent children with herpes zoster responding oral acyclovir treatment.

Özet

Varicella zoster virüsü (VZV) çocuklarda sık görülen bir viral hastalık olan suçiçeğinin etkenidir. Herpes zoster, VZV'unun dorsal arka kök ganglion hücrelerine yerleşerek yaptığı latent bir enfeksiyondur. Burada, iki sağlıklı çocukta görülen herpes zoster olguları sunularak, hastalığın nadir de olsa sağlıklı çocuklarda da görüldüğü ve oral asiklovir tedavisine iyi yanıt verdiği bildirilmiştir.
