Abstract :The Varicella Zoster virus can initially cause chickenpox in humans and then become latent. It can later reactivate for various reasons and manifest as shingles in dermatome areas, characterized by redness, rash, and neuropathic pain. In this case, we want to highlight a Zoster case with atypical symptoms resembling acute coronary syndrome, but without the presence of a rash. The patient is a 78-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with complaints of chest pain resembling acute coronary syndrome.
Keywords : Zona zoster, alpha herpesvirus, ganglionic neurons
