Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, demyelinating disease of the central
nervous system. Immunosuppressive and immunomodulating drugs are used
during disease monitoring. Fingolimod is one of the immunomodulatory treat-
ments used in MS patients. It is a therapeutic agent acting on lymphocytes. La-
tent varicella-zoster virus infections may occur in MS patients receiving fingo-
limod therapy. In this article, the information of two cases with varicella-zoster
virus reactivation during fingolimod use were presented.
