The authors report on a case of a healthy 29-year-old man with deep burns to his legs and feet totaling 4% TBSA who underwent successful skin grafting. He developed chronic pain in his graft site over his right ankle. Two and a half years after his graft had healed, he lost the graft because of herpes zoster infection. Zoster involving a skin graft is a rare entity, but its early recognition and treatment may prevent the loss of the graft.
