Abstract

Herpes zoster is a disease characterized by painful vesicular rash, most commonly involving the thoracic region, involving the cervical, lumbar, sacral and ophthalmic regions, resulting from the reactivation of varicella zoster virus, which remains latent in the dorsal root ganglia. In this case report, we present a case of shingles characterized by painful vesicular eruptions in the sacral and inguinal regions in a 72-year-old patient with underlying rheumatoid arthritis. The patient was diagnosed by physical examination and laboratory tests (varicella zoster-IgG positivity). After acyclovir treatment, the lesions regressed. The case is presented because of sacral and inguinal involvement (atypical presentation).

Özet

Herpes zoster, dorsal kök gangliyonlarında latent olarak kalan varicella zoster virüsünün reaktivasyonu sonucunda gelişen, en sık torasik bölgeyi tutan, servikal, lomber, sakral ve oftalmik bölgeleri de tutabilen sıklıkla ağrılı veziküler döküntü ile karakterize bir hastalıktır. Bu olgu sunumunda, 72 yaşında altta yatan romatoid artriti olan bir hastada sakral bölge ve inguinal bölgede ağrılı veziküler döküntülerle karakterize bir zona olgusu sunuldu. Olguda tanı fizik muayene ve laboratuvar testleri (varicella zoster-IgG pozitifliği) ile konuldu, asiklovir tedavisi sonrası lezyonları geriledi. Olgu sakral ve inguinal bölge tutulumu (atipik prezentasyon) göstermesi nedeniyle sunuldu.
