ABSTRACT
Herpes zoster is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, and it typically presents as single dermatomal rash and vesicles. It can cause postherpetic neuralgia as a common complication. In immunocompromised patients, the lesions can be cutaneous, disseminated into two non-contiguous dermatomes, and this entity is referred to as herpes zoster duplex unilateralis or bilateralis. We present a case of postherpetic neuralgia after herpes zoster duplex bilateralis in a 60-year-old immunocompromised man. He had a past history of acute lymphocytic leukemia and was treated with allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation 1 year before herpes zoster reactivation. His postherpetic neuralgia pain was difficult to treat and it was refractory to conservative medication and neuraxial block.
