Disseminated herpes zoster with increased CD4 counts in 3 HIV-infected patients
J Am Acad Dermatol.
2009 Aug.
Abstract
It has been reported that the diagnosis of multidermatomal herpes zoster in HIV-infected patients occurs at a lower CD4 level than zoster involving a single dermatome. Herein, we describe 3 cases of HIV-infected patients presenting with disseminated zoster at high CD4 counts and low HIV viral loads.
