Varicella zoster and herpes simplex viruses cause latent infections by persisting in sensory nerves or satellite cells around neurons after primary infection. Reactivation has been associated with increasing age, HIV infection, and cancer in varicella zoster virus infection, and with physical or emotional stress, fever, exposure to ultraviolet light, tissue damage, and immunosuppression in herpes simplex virus infection. 1, 2 Three cases reported to the Swiss Drug Monitoring Centre SANZ provide evidence for reactivation of herpesvirus infections after vaccinations against other (non-herpes) viruses.Patient 1, a 53-year-old white woman on no regular medication, received her first dose of a formaldehydeinactivated hepatitis A vaccine (Berna, Bern, Switzerland) in April, 1998. 14 days later, herpes zoster developed in the left T-10 dermatome, which resolved without sequelae. A second dose of a formaldehyde-inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (SmithKline Beecham, Thörishaus, Switzerland) was given in September, 1998. Herpes labialis developed on day 8 after vaccination, and herpes zoster with radicular pain, hyperaesthesia (on day 12), and vesicular eruptions (on day 16) developed in the left L1 dermatome. The patient was treated with valaciclovir with prolonged recovery. An HIV test was negative.
