Herpes zoster, or shingles, results from the reactivation of latent varicella- zoster virus (VZV) in the dorsal-root or cranial-nerve ganglia, usually decades after primary infection. Herpes zoster is characterized by a vesicular rash with a unilateral and dermatomal distribution and is almost always accompanied by pain.
