Abstract

<p>The patient was a 60s-year-old man who had undergone a living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for alcoholic liver cirrhosis. The donor was his eldest son. One week before the scheduled date of liver transplantation, he complained about severe pain in the right pharynx. As a result of consultation to otolaryngology, a pharyngeal fiberscope showed a mucous membrane flare and an adhesion of the white patch to his right pharynx. We diagnosed him as herpes zoster pharyngitis, and aciclovir (750 mg/day, 7days) was administered against varicella zoster virus. We confirmed a cure of herpes zoster pharyngitis by an examination with pharyngeal fiberscope one week later. The patient underwent LDLT 10 days after confirmation of the pharyngitis cure. A posttransplant course was uneventful. The patient is currently doing well with good graft function.</p>
