Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: The goal of this clinical case is to report a case of ophthalmic zoster in a five-year-old boy and to insist on the relevance of early antiviral treatment (aciclovir) so as to minimize corneal affection and preserve visual function.
OBSERVATION: We report the case of a five-year-old boy of preschool age with no notable pathological history who came for consultation with a painful eruption affecting the forehead, the upper eyelid, the nose. The clinical examination showed many erythematous vesicles affecting the left hemi-face. The diagnosis of ophthalmic zoster has been retained. Minimum biological laboratory assessment is normal. The treatment was local antiseptic and systemic aciclovir with high dose for ten days. The evolution was favorable. Zoster is rare in children. The ophthalmic form is exceptional. The diagnosis is clinical and should mention some bladdery lesions grouped in bunches with a disposition which follows a metamere. It can be responsible for serious ocular complications.
CONCLUSION: The particularity of our observation is the presence of zoster in an immunocompetent child and the ophthalmic localization, that remains exceptional in children.
