Shingles (Herpes Zoster) Mimicking Acute Abdomen.

Shingles is a very well-known viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus leading to painful skin rash. Although shingles can occur anywhere, it most often appears as a single stripe of blisters around the hypochondriac region. We are presenting a rare atypical presentation of shingles, as our patient presented with a picture of the acute abdomen a couple of days prior to the eruption of skin lesions.
