Abstract
Herpes zoster in childhood is uncommon even in the setting of known risk factors such as primary varicella zoster infection before 12 months of age and immunocompromised states. We report a 7-year-old, otherwise healthy girl with shingles, and review the risk factors, prognosis, and treatment of pediatric zoster.Keywords
