Herpes zoster (HZ), caused by the varicella-zoster virus, is an infectious skin disease that rarely recurs after initial presentation. The mechanism underlying HZ recurrence is currently under investigation. In this article, we report a case of HZ relapse within 1 month. Analysis of patient’s clinical manifestations, histopathological features, and flow cytometry results indicated that the absolute and percentage values of B cells were below the lower limit. We hypothesized that the patient had abnormal humoral immune function, which may be one reason leading to the HZ relapse within 1 month. The findings of this case will serve as useful reference for HZ recurrence for clinicians. This case was impactful and added to the literature on HZ recurrence.
