Abstract:
A 68-year-old woman suffering from a longstanding urticaria pigmentosa with mast cell infiltrations in bones had two attacks of herpes zoster. The second herpes zoster attack was followed by a severe polyradiculoneuritis (Guillain-Barré syndrome). The sequence of events suggests an immunological deficiency.
