The Authors describe a case report of a girl of 7 years affected by visceral leishmaniasis (VL) complicated by herpes zoster (Hz). Hz infection is unusual in paediatric age, but it may complicate immunodeficiency states. VL causes, as well known, T cell immunity depression: Hz infection could be facilitated by this situation.
