dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Herpes zoster is a skin infection caused by reactivation of the Varicella zoster virus that remains latent in the dorsal root ganglia, showing dermatomal spread on the skin, accompanied by a vesicular rash and itching. It is a disease of the adult age group. Although herpes zoster is more common in immunocompromised children, it is rarely seen in healthy children. Case Presentation: Two patients, 11 and 12 years old, presented with pain, itching, and rash. Patient histories indicated that they were previously healthy. Alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, urea, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and electrolyte values were within normal limits. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) immunoglobulin (Ig) G and VZV Ig M were positive, while herpes zoster virus (HZV) Ig G and HZV Ig M were negative. Oral acyclovir treatment was started. Symptoms, treatment, and follow-up of the two cases were similar. In both patients, the lesions regressed within a week, and at the end of the second week, they recovered without complications. Conclusion: Herpes Zoster infection is rarely seen in healthy children. In this case report, we aimed to remind and discuss the clinical features during childhood.en_US
