ABSTRACT

The Herpes Zoster is produced by the reactivation of the Chicken Pox Zoster Virus. It has an incidence of three cases for each thousand inhabitants a year, and they increase the possibility to suffer it with the age. A 48 year old case of a patient with atypical Zoster with postherpetic neuralgia who came to the Dermatology consultation with cutaneous and mucous lesions is presented. This article has the objective to describe the evolution of the Herpes Zoster in the last patient diagnosed like seropositive to the virus of Human Immunodeficiency Virus It is considered of concern once both entities association was given, indicator that although Herpes Zoster incidence is low, considering the possible presence of diseases that involve the immune system. We conclude that in the presence of the clinical variety of Atypical Herpes Zoster, the coexistence of other diseases that compromise the immune system, as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus must be considered.
