Herpes zoster in a 2-year-old vaccinated against varicella

Abstract

Herpes zoster is uncommon in the pediatric population. We report a case of herpes zoster in a 2-year-old boy who received the live attenuated varicella zoster virus vaccination at his 12-month pediatric visit. The child was treated with acyclovir and recovered without complications. © 2014 by the article author(s).
