Abstract
A patient developed reactivation of herpes zoster infection (shingles) after a routine liver biopsy. Reactivation of herpes is often related to trauma. This entity should be considered when patients report postbiopsy pain inappropriate to the procedure. If the typical rash of shingles develops, antiviral therapy should be considered.Entities:
