A case of synchronous herpes zoster infection and leukocytoclastic vasculitis localized to the same dermatome
2021, JAAD Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :However, this possibility also seems unlikely in our patient as both her LCV and herpes zoster arose synchronously. Thirdly, on reactivation from sensory nerve ganglia, the direct spread of VZV to the dermal vessels from contiguous nerves has been proposed,3 and seems to be the most reasonable pathophysiologic mechanism for this patient's presentation. Given the dermatomal involvement, an infection of endothelial cells via adjacent nerves through the abluminal side of the vessel could have precipitated clinical signs of vasculitis.

2006, Journal of InfectionCitation Excerpt :A study demonstrated that 63% of HIV-seronegative cancer patients with active tuberculosis in a cancer center had hematological malignancy.21 After a thorough review of literature, we found two articles regarding varicella-zoster infection complicating CTCL8,9; however, we could not find specific reports on pulmonary mycobacteriosis in these patients. To our knowledge, the coexistence of CTCL with pulmonary mycobacteriosis, i.e. tuberculosis,18 was described to date only in one patient, whereas this association has been reported in several cases of Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.19,20
