We aim to highlight the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management of varicella-zoster virus in immunocompetent patients to minimize disease complications. All data were obtained from the electronic medical record with permission from the patient and her parent. The patient underwent serial dermatologic examinations and a comprehensive immunologic workup. Positive VZV PCR testing of the lesion and blood confirmed active VZV infection. Despite an intensive multi-drug antiviral regimen, she developed suspected clinical drug resistance-although resistance testing was not performed-progressing to disseminated varicella with hepatic involvement. Inpatient complications included Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, suspected superimposed bacterial cellulitis, opioid withdrawal, and chronic pain. While outpatient, she developed postherpetic neuralgia and psychosocial impairment, preventing her from completing her academic year. This case illustrates a rare, but severe presentation of disseminated varicella-zoster virus with visceral involvement and concomitant Ramsay Hunt Syndrome in a healthy adolescent.
