  • Title: Posttraumatic herpes zoster ophthalmicus as a presenting sign of human immunodeficiency virus infection.
    Author: Netland PA, Zierhut M, Raizman MB.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1993 Jan; 25(1):14-5. PubMed ID: 8427484.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a 38-year-old man who developed herpes zoster ophthalmicus after orbital blunt trauma. Additional evaluation revealed human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. This case shows that varicella-zoster may be activated by local trauma and that herpes zoster ophthalmicus in young patients may indicate underlying HIV-1 infection.
