Abstract
- The skin lesion of herpes zoster is limited to one dermatomal area, but multidermatomal invasions have been occasionally reported. Most cases of multidermatomal herpes zoster have contiguous skin lesion. We report a case of herpes zoster duplex unilateralis with herpes zoster generalisatus that has characteristic clinical manifestation of noncontiguous skin involvement with multiple scattered vesicles. A 68-year-old male patient showed painful grouped erythematous vesicles on the left abdomen and the left face accompanyed with multiple scattered vesicles and pustules. Histopathologic findings were consistent with herpetic infection. We treated with an administration of acyclovir 1.5g a day for 7 days.
