Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a potential health threat in the highly mobile society of the world. Also, there are concerns regarding the co-infections occurring in COVID-19 patients. Herpes zoster (HZ) is now being reported as a co-infection in COVID-19 patients. It is a varicella-zoster virus induced viral infection affecting older people and immunocompromised individuals. Reactivation of HZ infection in COVID-19 patients are emerging and the mechanism of reactivation is still unknown. A most convincing argument would be, increased psychological and immunological stress leading to HZ in COVID-19 patients, and this review justifies this argument.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Zoster sine herpete (ZSH) can be misdiagnosed because there are no typical vesicular eruptions characterized by a dermatomal distribution. However, incorrect treatment due to a misdiagnosis can lead to severe pain and fatal complications.
CASE SUMMARY A 75-year-old woman complained of sudden onset right shoulder pain and atypical headache. After 18 d, sudden hearing loss occurred in the left ear. In serology tests conducted after the onset of hearing loss, varicella-zoster virus IgM was positive. She had no history of a rash or trauma. Under the suspicion of ZSH, antiviral treatment and stellate ganglion block were administered four times, and the pain was effectively controlled.
CONCLUSION Early diagnosis and treatment of ZSH can help not only by reducing pain but also by preventing fatal complications.

Abstract
Herpes zoster (HZ) is associated with substantial morbidity. It is caused by reactivation of the latent varicella zoster virus (VZV) following decline in cell-mediated immunity, which is commonly age-related, but also occurs in individuals with immunosuppressive diseases and/or treatment. Since coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, has been associated with T cell immune dysfunction and there have been reports of HZ in COVID-19 patients, we have performed a review of available literature on whether COVID-19 could trigger HZ. We identified 27 cases of HZ following COVID-19, which most frequently occurred within 1–2 weeks of COVID-19, and the majority of cases had typical presentation. Atypical presentations of HZ were noted especially in patients with lymphopenia. It has been hypothesized that VZV reactivation occurs as a consequence of T cell dysfunction (including lymphopenia and lymphocyte exhaustion) in COVID-19 patients. Based on current evidence, which is limited to case reports and case series, it is not possible to determine whether COVID-19 increases the risk of HZ. Practitioners should be aware of the possible increased risk of HZ during the pandemic period and consider timely therapeutic and preventive measures against it.

Abstract
Different skin presentations and patterns of cutaneous signs were reported in COVID19 patients. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection is responsible for two very common skin conditions. Varicella (chickenpox) is the initial presentation for infection with VZV and is characterized by a diffuse vesicular rash. It is after this initial attack, that VZV remains latent in the dorsal root ganglia before reactivating to present as herpes zoster (HZ) in middle age groups. Cutaneous skin findings remain to be emerging every day as a marker or a complication of COVID 19. We report a case of HZ complication in a 44 years old COVID 19 positive male.
