About Shingles (herpes zoster)

Shingles (herpes zoster) is reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus along a single dermatome, producing a painful unilateral vesicular rash often preceded by burning or tingling. Risk rises with age and immunocompromise. Complications include postherpetic neuralgia, ophthalmic involvement, and disseminated disease in immunosuppressed patients. Antiviral therapy (valacyclovir, famciclovir, acyclovir) started within 72 hours of rash onset reduces severity and may lower the risk of postherpetic neuralgia. Recombinant zoster vaccination is recommended for adults 50 and older and immunocompromised adults 19 and older.
