The classic clinical picture is characterized by clusters of papular and vesicular lesions on an erythematous base distributed unilaterally along a single dermatome. This characteristic presentation makes herpes zoster easily recognizable, even by non-dermatologist clinicians of different specialties. Involvement of 2 or more unilateral and contiguous dermatomes is not an uncommon finding in older patients and patients with other risk factors for immunosuppression. However, simultaneous involvement of 2 non-contiguous dermatomes—unilaterally or even bilaterally—is an exceptional finding that can make diagnosis difficult.

Neither patient experienced pain in the affected dermatomes or presented fever or other extracutaneous symptoms throughout the process. The patient who presented with herpes zoster multiplex (case 3, <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>), was a male aged 41years who had already started treatment with famciclovir 72<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>h earlier, prescribed by his primary care physician. In spite of this treatment, new lesions continued to appear. None of the 3 patients reported any prior episodes of herpes zoster. In all 3 cases, viral culture of the exudate confirmed the diagnosis a posteriori, with detection of the varicella zoster virus in all 3 cases. The results of serologies performed to rule out HIV infection were negative in all 3 patients. With the diagnosis of herpes zoster duplex in cases 1 and 2 and multiplex in case 3, antiviral treatment was prescribed at standard doses complemented by topical care with zinc sulphate and fusidic acid until the lesions were completely healed.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The probability of developing herpes zoster duplex or multiplex is extremely low, with a documented incidence in the largest series of less than 0.1% of all herpes zoster cases.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In 2015, Zhang and Zhou<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> reviewed all the cases of herpes zoster duplex reported in the literature, affecting in total 36 patients.

In a review of the literature published in 1999,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> only 7 cases of herpes zoster multiplex were found, almost all associated with causes of immunosuppression.</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Following primary varicella-zoster virus infection, the virus establishes a latent infection in the dorsal and trigeminal root ganglia; this has been demonstrated by viral DNA analysis in autopsies.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> Reactivation of the virus in the ganglion with the highest latent viral load—mediated by multiple triggers—gives rise to the characteristic herpetic lesions in the affected dermatome.

When there is doubt, however, or when the presentation is atypical, confirmation of the diagnosis by testing is recommended. In our 3 cases, diagnosis was confirmed by viral culture of two cell lines (MRC-5 human lung fibroblasts and A549 human lung tumor epithelial cells). The cultures were maintained for 3 weeks, during which it was checked for cytopathic effect every 3 to 4 days. The appearance of a cytopathic effect was confirmed by staining with monoclonal antiviral antibodies (Argene<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span> Anti Varicella Zoster Virus Ref 11-017), with fluorescence being observed under the microscope in positive cases.</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The treatment of patients with herpes zoster duplex and multiplex is the same as that used in classic cases, and involves antiviral coverage, pain control, and topical care.
