Abstract

The Varicella zoster virus is responsible for two common infectious diseases: chicken pox(Varicella) and shingles(Herpes zoster). Chicken pox is the primary infection. After the initial infection, the virus remains dormant in sensory ganglia until reactivation may occur decades later. The subsequent reactivation is Herpes zoster. Herpes zoster of the trigeminal nerve distribution manifests as painful, vesicle eruptions of the skin and mucosa innervated by the affected nerve. Oral vesicles usually appear after the skin manifestrations. Reports of osteomyelitis of jaw after trigeminal herpes zoster are extremely rare. We report a case of osteomyelitis on mandible caused by herpes zoster infection which was treated by antiviral drug, curettage. At 1 year post-operatively, mandibular mucosa had healed without recurrent sign. But post-herpetic neuralgia is remained.

본 증례는 안면의 수포성 병변과 함께 치조골 괴사에 의한 자연적인 치아 발거가 나타난 경우이다. 환자는 대상포진과 악골 골수염에 대해 치료를 받고, 매달 정기적으로 경과 관찰 중이며, 골수염의 재발 징후 및 증상은 보이지 않고 현재까지는 양호하게 치유되고 있다. VZV가 재발하지 않는 한 예후는 양호할 것으로 생각된다. 괴사골과 이환치의 발거를 시행한 무치악부위는 일반적인 가철성 국소의치를 통해 수복되고 있다. 그러나, 병소의 하악관의 침범으로 인해서 우측 하악 영역의 감각이상은 여전히 남아 있다.
