Abstract
Case report. A 54-year-old woman had been well until 1 month before admission, when she noticed a tingling sensation on her right groin followed by a skin eruption. The diagnosis of HZ was made, and she was placed on oral acyclovir (2,400 mg a day for 2 weeks and then 1,200 mg a day for 9 days). Two weeks after the onset of HZ she noticed bilateral facial drooping and loss of taste. Next day she developed difficulty in raising her right lower limb. She was referred to our hospital 4 weeks after the onset of HZ.Keywords
