Herpes Zoster

Shingles (herpes zoster) marked by painful rashes and skin blisters is caused by the varicella zoster virus that causes chickenpox.

People with asthma may be at increased risk of shingles, a common form of painful skin rash caused by the varicella zoster virus, says a new study.

A new study conducted indicates that children who are vaccinated against chicken pox also have an increased protection against shingles.

People with a family history of shingles (Herpes zoster) are more vulnerable to the disease than those without a family history.

US researchers have identified several factors, like old age, female sex, more severe rash, severe pain or tingling sensations when shingles began, which are associated with prolonged pain after shingles.
