Q

You have an 11 y/o F who presents today with a pruritic, vesicular rash to her T6 dermatome on the L side of her back. She states she had been playing out in the woods and thought it was just poison ivy. When she itches the rash, it burns and hurts. Her IUTD, she has a PMH of chickenpox at 5 months old. She is presently going through puberty placing stress on her body. Although rare, you suspect she has shingles because:

A

Shingles is a reactivation of the latent varicella virus that she contracted at 5 months old, she is under stress that can trigger shingles activation, and the rash is vesicular on a dermatome, not crossing the midline.
