  • Title: Disseminated herpes zoster in a pregnant woman positive for human immunodeficiency virus.
    Author: Petrozza JC, Monga M, Oshiro BT, Graham JM, Blanco JD.
    Journal: Am J Perinatol; 1993 Nov; 10(6):463-4. PubMed ID: 8267815.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of disseminated herpes zoster in a pregnant patient positive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Disseminated zoster was the first manifestation of HIV infection in this patient. In HIV-positive patients, zoster may be complicated by cutaneous dissemination, visceral involvement, and death. Intravenous acyclovir may prevent serious sequelae in both mother and fetus.
