Özet

Case 1 A 23-year-old woman was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia in 1997. In 1999, she underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling donor after induction chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and busulfan. At day 46 after BMT, she was discharged with a medication regimen which included cyclosporine, fluconazole, acyclovir, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Five months later she developed clusters of vesicles and pain over the right inframammary and right infrascapular areas corresponding to the T5 - T6 dermatomes. Herpes zoster infection was diagnosed clinically and acyclovir therapy ( 3 x 10 mg/kg/day) was started. All lesions healed within 2 weeks leaving atrophic cicatrices and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation.
