Herpes zoster as a sign of AIDS-related complex

M G Wilkerson et al. Am Fam Physician. 1987 Oct.

Abstract

Herpes zoster has recently been reported in young patients with risk factors for AIDS. In high-risk patients under age 55, herpes may be the first manifestation of AIDS or AIDS-related complex. Dissemination of zoster does not appear to be greatly increased in this group, but corticosteroid therapy should be withheld.
