Cureus. 2024 Jun 10;16(6):e62075. doi: 10.7759/cureus.62075. eCollection 2024 Jun.

Abstract

Herpes zoster (HZ) infection is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and has very rarely been reported at the site of a superficial fungal infection. Also, HZ occurring at the site of a deep fungal infection has not been reported in the literature. We discuss a unique case of a 45-year-old male patient presenting with a Majocchi granuloma (MG) superinfected with disseminated HZ.

Keywords: fungal infection; herpes zoster virus; majocchi’s granuloma; superinfection; varicella zoster reactivation disseminated herpes zoster.
