Abstract :
Varicella zoster virüs (VZV) is a common viral infectious agent that causes chickenpox in child-hood. Herpes zoster (HZ) is a latent infection that is caused by VZV, which is localized in the cells of dorsal root ganglions. Although the disease is commonly seen among elderly people and immu-nosuppressive individuals, it is rarely observed in healthy children. In our case report we present a 5-months aged patient without any immunosuppressive disease or undergoing varicella disease who was diagnosed as Herpes Zoster.
