herpes zoster induced alveolar bone necrosis in immunocompromised patients; two case reports
Authors
abstract
introduction: herpes zoster infection (hzi) is a viral disease with painful skin rashes and blisters in a limited area on one side of the body, often in a strip. osteonecrosis with spontaneous exfoliation of teeth in association with hzi of the mandibular nerve is a rare phenomenon. in this report, such an unusual complication of hzi is presented. case report: the clinical course of a 53-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man with hzi associated with alveolar bone necrosis and tooth exfoliation were reviewed in order to develop a patient profile for this rare combination of physical findings. conclusion: in immunocompromised patients, the clinicians should consider hzi as a possible cause of tooth mobility, exfoliation, and alveolar osteonecrosis, which needs early intervention to prevent secondary complications.

The prolonged retention of fetal bone structure is an uncommon condition after a previous abortion. We describe two cases with fetal bone fragment amongst 3589 hysteroscopies (0.05%) who had no complaint other than secondary infertility. In both patients hyperechogenic areas were found through transvaginal ultrasound and the bones were removed by hysteroscopy. Despite meticulous evaluation duri...

Herpes zoster is an infectious disease caused by varicella-zoster virus that may occur sporadically at any age. We report on two patients with herpes zoster who received chemotherapy for breast cancer. Both patients were immunocompromised and received filgrastim therapy for the management of neutropenia. Zoster occurred during filgrastim therapy but the symptoms were alleviated rapidly in the c...

_ two typically herpetic eruptions were noticed. The herpes soon spread to the neck below the ear and also on the face in front of left ear and a few vesicles appeared in the supra-clavicular region. On the appearance of the rash the intensity of pain was considerably relieved. Three days after the appearance of the rash the patient developed left facial paralysis (Bell). The eruptions also ext...
