| Popis: | Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) can produce painful, cutaneous lesions in human beings. Reactivation of this neurotropic virus leads to herpes zoster or shingles: a painful, unilateral, vesicular eruption in a restricted dermatomal distribution. Rarely, reactivation of this virus can lead to cardiac complications, such as myocarditis and even conduction abnormalities. In this case report, we present a patient with a cardiac complication post VZV reactivation and address an unusual question and concern resulting from latent VZV presentation in adults. |
