Abstract
Shingles is an infectious disease, caused by the reactivation of the Varicella Zoster Virus, which can be commonly seen in elderly persons. Disseminated and visceral forms are observed in immunocompromised individuals. Our case report presents Herpes Zoster in immunocompromised patient due to chronic lymphocytic leukemia with oculocutaneus albinism complicated with sepsis and pneumonia. The diagnosis and treatment were made in accurate and timely manner, so the patient was cured successfully. We discuss the necessity of the proper genetic testing of albinism, which leads to its appropriate prophylaxis and treatment; also we consider the potential of specific anti-Varicella Zoster Virus immunoprophylaxis in the modern era.
