ATYPICAL PRESENTATION OF ZONA DURING COVID PANDEMICS: CASE REPORT
Aim: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a double stranded DNA virus from herpes virus family. Only infection source is human and it is very contagious. With this case we want to mention about atypical presentation of zona and it should be kept in mind as differential diagnosis for atypically located vesicular lesions.
Case: 50 years old healthcare worker female patient presented to emergency service with parestesia and coldness of one leg followed by vesicular lesions. Predisposing factors are chronic disease, immunocompromising disease, age more than 60 but for our patient no predisposing factors observed. The COVID Pandemic has brought with it other additional health problems.
Conclusion: With this case, we wanted to show that zona zoster, which we frequently encounter in thoracic and cranial dermatomes, may show atypical involvement and at the same time, the immune system of healthcare workers may be impaired in the fight against the epidemic and cause additional health problems.
