ABSTRACT
Herpes Zoster caused by reactivation of latent Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV). The rare disseminated form of it occurred mainly in immunocompromised patients. We hereby present the first case of atypical disseminated herpes zoster in a 54-year-old woman admitted with serious COVID. In this case, disseminated herpes zoster developed by purpuric lesions mimicking vasculitis and cutaneous drug reaction. Hence, this case serves as a reminder for considering atypical presentations of cutaneous disorders in immunocompromised patients, especially those affected with severe COVID.
