Herpes zoster ophthalmic is a common condition in the elderly or in the immunocompromised people. We present the case of a 32-yearold female patient, without any particular history, who consulted the emergency room for a red right eye with major chemosis, palpebral edema, and decreased visual acuity. There was also a crusty rash in the V1 territory, suggesting herpes zoster. Visual acuity was 2/10 in the right eye and 10/10 left eye (Figure 1 and 2). Examination at the slit lamp revealed a non-hypertensive granulomatous anterior kerato-uveitis of the right eye. Given the severity of the lesion, an immunodepressive background was suspected, HIV serology came back positive.
