Abstract:
A 35-year-old male suffered from an extremely painful embolia cutis medicamentosa. The atypical segmental localization first led to the diagnosis of herpes zoster and an antiviral therapy. Regarding the unusual course of the complication following an intramuscular injection in this case, the question for the real pathomechanisms still remains.
