Recurrent Herpes Zoster During the Treatment of systemic Lupus Erythematosus With Immunosuppressive Drugs
Abstract
- Herpes zoster is known to be more frequent and severe in patients during immunosuppressive treatment and various predisposing factors, such as Hodgkin's disease, advanced tumor stage, local X-ray irradiation, splenectomy and cutaneous anergy. This report presents the case of a 23-year-old woman who developed herpes zoater on two separate occasione during the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus with immunosuppressive agents (corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide). In each occasion, it was involved by different and multiple dermatomes. Treatment with oral and intralesional corticosteroids administration proved to be beneficial without any complication, although some delayed recovery of the disease was noted.
