MARTIN MARTIN, Ramona e QUEZADA CARRION, Gabriela. Herpes zoster after first dose of varicella vaccine in an immunocompetent patient. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.81, pp.53-56. Epub 14-Out-2019. ISSN 1139-7632.
Chickenpox is a disease of universal distribution. Universal vaccination has decreased the incidence of varicella in recent years. Herpes zoster after vaccination is possible but its incidence is between 4 to 12 times lower than among the unvaccinated. In childhood, herpes zoster is usually mild, self-limiting, well tolerated and usually only requires symptomatic treatment. We present a case of herpes zoster in a child vaccinated five months earlier, with good evolution.
