摘要
Herpes zoster has been known since ancient times. It is a ubiquitous disease, occurring sporadically without any seasonal preference and is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It may be defined as an endogenous relapse of the primary infection varicella. Herpes zoster is characterised by typical efflorescences in the innervation region of a cranial or spinal nerve and starts and ends with pain of varying intensity.
