Granulomatous folliculitis at sites of herpes zoster scars: Wolf's isotopic response

J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol. 2002 Nov;16(6):628-30. doi: 10.1046/j.1468-3083.2002.00524.x.

Abstract

Cutaneous eruptions described on herpes zoster scars are variable. We present a case of granulomatous folliculitis occurring 4 weeks after an episode of herpes zoster infection in a woman with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The pathogenesis of the lesions remains unclear. The viral genome was detected only in early lesions.
