Sağlıklı İki Çocukta Herpes Zoster

Öz

Latent varisella zoster virüsünün çeşitli nedenlerle reaktive olmasıyla meydana gelen herpes zoster çocukluk çağında çok az rastlanan ve çoğu zaman immünsüpresyonla ilişkili bulunan bir viral hastalıktır. Son zamanlarda sağlıklı çocuklarda herpes zoster vakalarının arttığını görmekteyiz. Sağlıklı çocuklarda herpes zoster sıklığı gittikçe artmakta- dır. Çocukların intrauterin ya da erken çocukluk dönemin- de varisella infeksiyonu geçirmeleri çocukluk çağında herpes zoster gelişmesi için risk oluşturmaktadır. Bu durum immünitenin tam gelişmediği erken çocukluk döneminde varisella infeksiyonuna maruz kalma ile açıklanmaktadır. Erken dönemde ve az sayıda lezyonla varisella infeksiyonu geçiren sağlıklı iki çocukta görülen herpes zoster vakaları sunulmuştur

Herpes Zoster Infection in Two Healthy Children

Öz

Herpes zoster infection which results from reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus is rare in children and often associated with immunosuppression. However, recently an increase in the incidence of pediatric herpes zoster cases have been seen. The incidence of herpes zoster infection in healthy children is increasing. Exposure to varicella infec- tion in intrauterine life and early childhood constitute a risk for the development of herpes zoster infection. Remarkably, a possible relationship exists between exposu- re to varicella infection in small children with not fully developed immunity and infection of herpes zoster in child- hood. Herein, two healthy children with early stage herpes zoster infection are presented who had suffered from vari- cella infection with small number of lesions
