Methods

A case of 72 years old male paitents, with visceral herpes zoster complicated with severe persistent upper abdominal pain and progressive jaundice was reported.

After antiviral treatment, the herpes skin lesions healed but the condition repeated. Liver biopsy showed that virus inclusion bodies were still found in the liver cells and cholestasis was observed. Immunohistochemistry showed positive staining for herpes zoster virus. Visceral herpes zoster was healed after long-term antiviral treatment.

Conclusion

The antiviral treatment of visceral herpes zoster should be extended.
