Abstract
In patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), various cutaneous symptoms have been observed. Herpes zoster (HZ) is an infectious skin disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) that, after a primary chickenpox infection, persists dormant in the dorsal root ganglia of cutaneous nerves. Unusual prolonged dermatological symptoms from recovered COVID-19 patients have rarely been recorded. In this report, we describe a case of HZ following recovery from COVID-19.
