Abstract

Previous studies have observed an association between Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) infection and stroke. Here we discuss possible causes of Herpes Zoster (HZ) due to COVID-19. Reactivation of VZV caused by decline of cellular immune response has been noted during the convalescent period or after recovery from COVID-19. Whether s troke can be a late sequel of a COVID-19 due to different inflammatory and coagulation mechanisms is currently uncertain. We present the case of a young patient with acute ischemic stroke, two months after mild COVID19 infection associated with subclinical reactivation of VZV infection and discuss possible causes of stroke.
