Abstract:
A 56-year-old previously healthy man suffered from an attack of disseminated herpes zoster, followed by multifocal neurologic involvement. The patient was a human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carrier. HTLV-1 infection, even though normally asymptomatic, has been suggested to be one of the risk factors for severe herpes virus infection and its associated neurologic disorders.
