Abstract:
In most cases, herpes zoster (shingles) infections are benign and self-limited, requiring no treatment. However, if patients are elderly or immuno-compromised, they are at increased risk of complications such as visceral dissemination, cranial and nerve palsies, ophthalmic zoster, and postherpetic neuralgia. We present a case of herpes zoster infection complicated by both motor and sensory involvement in an elderly man.
