كل ما تريد معرفته عن Herpes zoster
📋 Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox.
🦠 After chickenpox, the virus lies dormant in your nerve cells, and can resurface later in life, causing shingles.
🩺 Signs and symptoms:
Tingling, burning, or itching where the rash will appear.
Painful blisters in a band-like pattern, usually on one side of the torso or face.
Fever, chills, fatigue, and headache.
💊 Treatment:
Early diagnosis and treatment are key to reducing the duration and severity of the illness.
Antiviral medications shorten the course of the disease and lessen the risk of complications.
Complications:
Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN): chronic pain that persists after the blisters heal.
Bacterial skin infections.
Vision problems.
Hearing loss.
Prevention:
Vaccination is the best way to prevent shingles and PHN .
The CDC recommends the shingles vaccine for all adults 50 years and older, especially those with weakened immune systems.
