Cases of Herpes Zoster observed in patients with neoplasms who were undergoing radiation or chemotherapeutic treatment are reported. Although no statistical value is attributed to the caselist, the higher incidence of symptomatic Zoster in systemic forms and particularly in lymphogranuloma is confirmed. On the basis of the concept of conditioned infectious disease, it is believed that the taking of the Herpes virus is mainly favored by the fall in the body's defense powers. The local effect of the ionizing radiations or of the neoplasm itself might have a certain value in localizing the virus in a given nervous segment. (auth)
