Herpes Zoster in Cholelithiasis Patient – Surgeons’ Dilemma
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Herpes zoster often causes diagnostic difficulties. We report two cases of herpes zoster presented in our surgery outpatient department as pain abdomen. One patient was in acute eruptive phase and another was in pre-eruptive phase. In both patients routine blood test was normal and ultrasound of abdomen detected multiple cholelithiasis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was safely performed in both patients. Antiviral medication was prescribed after consultation with physician. A close follow-up and good communication between referring physician and surgeon are essential to manage such cases
