Resumo: We report a case of a patient with complete vaccination schedule, and subsequent exacerbation of herpes zoster (HZ) symptoms jointly with orocutaneous eruptions after a second infection by SARS-CoV2. In December 2022, a 52-year‐ old female presented to the clinic with symptoms of cough, runny nose and fatigue. She was monitored under at home quarantine for 10 days, having her oxygen saturation measured daily, under antiallergic and corticosteroid therapy. Posteriorly, the RT‐ PCR result confirmed the diagnosis of COVID‐ 19. The patient's medical history showed a past report of fibromyalgia, total thyroidectomy and herpes zoster (HZ) infection. The association between SARS-CoV-2 and herpesviruses has been observed in several patients, although the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the process of herpes zoster (HZ) lytic reactivation remain poorly understood.
