Abstract
Herpes zoster occurs due to reactivation of the latent varicella zoster virus and is usually a disease of the elderly. It is rare in healthy immunocompetent children, and when present, it is seen in immunocompromized children. We report a case of herpes zoster infection in a 3 years old immunocompetent child with no history of varicella. He was treated with acyclovir and had complete resolution of the lesions without any sequelae.
