ABSTRACT
There have been recent descriptions of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presenting as ‘varicella-like exanthem’. We report three cases of patients with VaricellaZoster Virus (VZV) and COVID-19 co-infections, presenting in three varied ways. These cases highlight the need for heightened alertness to how such co-infections can present, to pick up overlapping ‘dual pathologies’ during this current pandemic given that infection control measures including airborne precautions are crucial for both COVID-19 and VZV.
