摘要
Exposure to varicella-zoster virus in utero or during the first months of life is the main risk factor for the development of herpes zoster (HZ) in healthy children. We report a case series of 16 infants and toddlers who presented with HZ after early exposure to varicella-zoster virus. Two patients had recurrences. Despite the severity of the rash in some cases, the benign course and the long-term good prognosis of HZ in healthy children is noteworthy.
