Thermal Trigger: An Unusual Case of Herpes Zoster Reactivation in the Trigeminal Dermatome Following Hot Water Exposure

Öz

Herpes zoster (HZ), or shingles, is a viral disease caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). While reactivation is typically associated with aging, immunosuppression, or stress, this case report presents an unusual trigger: exposure to hot water. A 76-year-old woman developed HZ localized to the trigeminal nerve dermatome following accidental exposure to hot water. The patient was successfully treated with acyclovir, with symptoms resolving within 14 days. This case highlights the importance of considering unusual triggers for HZ reactivation and underscores the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications.
