Abstract
|
|
|
Herpes zoster in childhood is uncommon, but it is more common in association with immunosuppression.
Maternal varicella infection during pregnancy and varicella occurring in the newborn represent risk for childhood
herpes zoster. However, some controversies persist on risk factors, diagnosis, and the natural history of childhood
disease. We report a 10-year-old healthy boy with shingles and review the risk factors, prognosis, and treatment
of pediatric zoster. (Korean J Pain 2008; 21: 71?73)
