Shingles (Herpes Zoster)

In the United States, one in three people develop shingles in their lifetime. This is also known as shingles. In this country, 1 million cases of shingles are estimated annually. Everyone who recovers from varicella can develop herpes zoster, even a child suffers from herpes zoster. However, as age goes up, the risk of shingles increases.

Certain cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), such as the immune system continue to function properly.

Administration of immunosuppressive drugs such as steroids and drugs after organ transplantation

Most people who develop shingles have only one episode in their lifetime. However, you can have even a second episode or even a third episode.

Herpes zoster is caused by varicella - zoster virus (VZV) which causes varicella. After people recover from varicella, the virus is dormant in the body (no activity). Scientists do not know why the virus causes shingles and reactivates in a few years

Herpes zoster - herpes zoster (herpes zoster) is a skin rash or blister caused by the same virus causing varicella - varicella - zoster virus. The first sign of shingles is usually burns or stinging pain, or numbness or itching in a certain place on one side of the body. After a few days or a week, some blisters with moisture appear in certain parts of the body like chickenpox. Pain in herpes zoster can be mild or intense. It is a common complication of shingles, also known as Shingles Austus Territory - Ramsay Hunt Syndrome or Ramsay Hunt Syndrome Type II. Herpes zoster is an infection caused by varicella - zoster virus, and varicella - zoster virus is a virus that causes varicella. Herpes zoster occurs in chicken pox and represents the reactivation of dormant varicella-zoster virus

Varicella - herpes zoster is a part of a group of viruses called herpes virus. This includes viruses that cause herpes simplex and genital herpes. Herpes zoster is therefore also known as shingles. However, viruses that cause varicella and herpes zoster are not herpes simplex or genital herpes, a virus that causes sexually transmitted diseases. Varicella vaccine (Varivax) has become a periodic pediatric vaccination to prevent varicella. This vaccine is also recommended for adults who have never experienced varicella. The vaccine does not guarantee not to develop varicella or shingles but it can lower the incidence of complications and lower the severity of the disease.

Varicella is caused by varicella-zoster virus (VZV). This virus also causes a painful rash called shingles (shingles) in later years. Even if varicella disappears after someone has been chickenpox, the virus still sleeps (sleeps) in the nervous system and maintains the rest of my life. This virus can be reactivated ("wake up") later as shingles. Varicella rash is very itchy. To prevent blisters and infectious diseases, please keep children as hard as possible. Preventing bacterial infections is very important. Consider placing gloves and socks in the hands of children to prevent scratches during sleep. It also trims your nails and keeps them clean
