Herpes Zoster Virus Reactivation in a 16 Year Old Female Post COVID-19 Vaccine. Case report and Review of the Literature
CONCLUSION: Varicella zoster virus falls under the family of Herpesviridae, It's characterized by its ability to escape host immune system and remain dormant in ganglionic neurons. Reactivation of the infection will result in herpes zoster manifesting as painful vesicles in a dermatomal distribution. Possible link is the suppression of type-one interferons caused by the mRNA-based vaccine such as COVID-19 vaccines. Yet, potential correlation remains to be demonstrated.PMID:37260797 | PMC:PMC10227837 | DOI:10.5455/medarh.2023.77.146-149
