Herpes-Zoster-Associated Voiding Dysfunction in an Immunocompromised Patient
Copyright © 2020, Alalwan et al..
During herpes zoster infection, immunocompromised hosts are especially vulnerable to complications, which include visceral organ involvement. Voiding dysfunction secondary to herpes zoster infection is an uncommon clinical presentation and has numerous enigmatic mechanisms. This case of herpes-zoster-associated voiding dysfunction occurred in a patient with nephrotic syndrome treated with immunosuppressives (prednisolone and mycophenolate mofetil). The patient presented with acute urinary retention and extensive lumbosacral herpetic infection. He responded positively to treatment and completely recovered following a 14-day course of intravenous acyclovir and intermittent self-catheterization (two to three times daily) for four weeks.
