ABSTRACT
Herpes Zoster duplex -zoster affecting 2 separate dermatome simultaneously- is a rare disease. A 65 year old man, healthy in the past, presented with severely painful grouped papulovesicles and hemorrhagic crusts on the erythematous base on the right forehead and nasal bridge(V-I dermatome) and left chest(T4 dermatome) with nearly simultaneous occurrence. Tzanck smear revealed multinucleated giant cells and biopsy taken from the chest lesion showed the features consistent with herpetic viral blister. He was treated with intravenous administration of acyclovir for 5 days and both lesions were markedly improved.
