Abstract
Herpes zoster has been caused because of the reactivation of latent Varicella-Zoster virus. It is a proportionally uncommon condition in the young population, as compared with adults. After taking consent from the legal guardian of the patient, we report a 17-year-old boy with a history of varicella, who came to us with the complaint of very severe painful vesicular lesions on the right side T1 and T2 dermatomal distribution of the chest, arm, and dorsal side of the trunk. Ultimately, the patient was diagnosed with herpes zoster. We focus to highlight that herpes zoster could occur in the healthy and immunocompetent young population and this may be due to the previous subclinical infection or vaccine strain reactivation.
