Even more uncommon is herpes zoster ophthalmicus, defined as herpes zoster of the ophthalmic branch of the fifth cranial nerve. Among healthy children, primary varicella-zoster virus infection during gestation as a result of maternal varicella or the first year of life is the major risk factor for development of herpes zoster in a relatively young age. Here we present an unusual case of herpes zoster ophthalmicus with dissemination in an immunocompetent toddler with favorable outcome. The child\u2019s mother contracted chickenpox in late pregnancy and her son was very likely infected with varicella-zoster virus in utero. During a two-year follow-up the child vision was normal and there was no evidence of post herpetic neuralgia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/folmed-2017-0064","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,18]],"date-time":"2018-04-18T22:16:03Z","timestamp":1524089763000},"page":"170-174","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The Skin and the Eye -
