Abstract

Herpes zoster (HZ) as well as varicella are caused by varicella-zoster virus. It is uncommon in children. Cases have beenreported in literature among all ages from neonate to old age. We report this case of HZ ophthalmicus in a healthy childborn to healthy mother with a history of varicella infection in the third trimester (7th month of gestation).
