ABSTRACT

The appearance of herpes zoster (HZ) in a child without a history of varicella is rare, and it may happen when the mother has had the disease during pregnancy. Noncontiguous multidermatomal HZ is exceptional in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised person. We report a 17-months-old-healthy boy, he presents herpes multiplex unilateralis with noncontiguous dermatomes. His mother had varicella during pregnancy (third trimester).
