摘要

带状疱疹（HZ）是由水痘-带状疱疹病毒（VZV）再活化引起的，通常表现为单侧皮损性红斑水泡疹。双侧 HZ 很少见，通常与免疫功能低下有关。我们报告了一例 62 岁女性患者的病例，她没有明显的免疫力低下症状，却患上了双侧胸部 HZ。患者接受了抗病毒药物和止痛药物治疗。我们的病例强调了双侧 HZ 的罕见性及其对诊断和治疗的影响。我们还回顾了有关双侧 HZ 的英文文献。

Bilateral Thoracic Herpes Zoster in a 62-year-old Immunocompetent Woman.

Herpes zoster (HZ), caused by the reactivation of varicella-zoster virus (VZV), typically presents as a unilateral dermatomal erythematous vesicular rash. Bilateral HZ is rare and usually associated with immunocompromise. We report the case of a 62-year-old female with no evident immunocompromise who developed bilateral thoracic HZ. The patient was treated with antivirals and pain medications. Our case highlights the rarity of bilateral HZ and its implications for diagnosis and management. We also review the literature on bilateral HZ in the English literature.
