| Abstrakt: | Herpes zoster (HZ) is of rare occurrence after interventional procedures with few events reported until now. A 74 year-old man with a past medical history of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, splenectomy, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and polymyalgia rheumatica developed HZ on the right median nerve 7 days after he underwent a coronariography for managing an acute coronary syndrome. He evolved with cutaneous dissemination and required intravenous acyclovir therapy. Laboratory evaluation disclosed a previously unknown idiophatic CD4 lymphocytopenia. HZ should be added to the list of complications after interventional cardiology and associated immunosuppressive factors ruled out.
