Abstract
Covid 19 infection can affect immune system functions. Although age is seen as a major factor for the development of Herpes Zoster (HZ), immunosuppression or disease-related immune system dysfunction can progress with the reactivation of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV). A 57-year-old male patient presented with painful lesions on his body after Covid 19 infection and was diagnosed with HZ. The patient was admitted to the algology outpatient clinic due to Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN) 4 months after the onset of the rash. Our aim is to draw attention to the possibility of HZ and PHN development after Covid 19 infection.
