Shingles is an infection of the nerves that supply the skin, causing a painful rash of small blisters. It is caused by the virus Varicella zoster, which also causes chicken pox. After a person has had an attack of chicken pox, the virus can remain dormant in certain nerves, sometimes to be reactivated later to cause shingles. What causes shingles and who is at risk? Chicken pox infection is very common in children. Its effects are mild and once children have had it, they are immune to further infection. However, the virus remains in the body for life. Normally, it lies dormant in some nerve fibres but any decline in the immune system may allow the virus to reappear in adulthood as shingles. In this form, it is a much more serious and debilitating illness. Shingles can affect adults at any age but the likelihood of an outbreak increases with age. Re-activation is common in elderly people and in people whose immune system has become weakened. The immune system may be weakened by: Illnesses, especially AIDS

Extractions: HIV Infection or resulting full blown AIDS are rarely thought of as Neurologic Illnesses. The HIV virus actually seeks out the nervous system and hides there. Becoming entrenched in the nervous system where it is hard for drugs to penetrate is one reason why it has to date been impossible to eradicate the virus. As a result of this tendency to attack the nervous system we see many Neurologic complications of HIV and AIDS. Neuropathy, Pain, Dementia, Memory Disturbance, Myopathy (Muscle Disease), Seizure, Tremor, Weakness, Spinal Cord Problems, Gait Disorder and Falls, Shingles and Bells Palsy just to name a few. The broad scope of these complications often requires the expertise of a neurologist. A neurologist is a Medical Doctor who spent extra years studying diseases of the Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves and Muscle. Not only does the Neurologist who sees patients with AIDS or HIV have to consider the special kinds of complications due to the human immunodeficiency virus but the Neurologist must also consider the possibility that the patient's Neurologic Problem may have nothing to do with their HIV infection. This makes the Neurology of HIV/AIDS extremely

My wife has been going through a very frustrating and, at times, very painful problem for over a month since first being diagnosed with shingles. She had a doctor's prescription covering the first week of shingles. Since then, the skin eruptions under her right breast and around to her back have dried out, but the redness still appears. She has been treating the areas with zinc oxide, an ice pack and a lotion called Sarna which has given her some relief from itching and other discomforts. I know it is a virus affecting the nerves, but I'm surprised at how little information is readily available for help. Could you please explain this disease? A: Shingles, known medically as herpes zoster, is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same one that causes chickenpox in children. The virus remains dormant in the nerves for years, but gets reactivated in about 20% of the general population at some time later in life. About 70% of cases occur in people over the age of 50, and up to 50% of people who live to be 80 will experience shingles. All races and genders are affected equally by shingles that can occur at any season or time of the year.

Extractions: Home Patient information Shingles is a painful blistering rash caused by reactivation of Chickenpox virus. Chickenpox (varicella) is the primary infection with the virus, Herpes zoster . During this widespread infection, which usually occurs in childhood, virus is seeded to nerve cells in the spinal cord, usually of nerves that supply sensation to the skin. The virus remains in a resting phase in these nerve cells for years before it is reactivated and grows down the nerves to the skin to produce shingles (zoster). This can occur in childhood but is much more common in adults, especially the elderly. Shingles a surgical operation Shingles patients are infectious (resulting in chickenpox), both from virus in the lesions and in some instances the nose and throat. Shingles is more common and more severe in patients with poor immunity. Blisters can occur in more than one area and the virus may affect internal organs, including the gastrointestinal tract, the lungs and the brain. Chickenpox or shingles in the early months of pregnancy can harm the fetus, but luckily this is rare. The fetus may be infected by chickenpox in later pregnancy, and then devlop shingles as an infant.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Q: I would like very much if you could write something about the Shingle Syndrome. I have had this for eight years now and my internist and everyone else tells me that there is no help. I have tried everything and still get no relief. My husband suggested a nerve block, but my doctor said it could leave me in a wheelchair. Could you please give me some advice on a nerve block or acupuncture. Is there any hope at all of ever looking forward to less pain? I sure could use some help! A: Shingles, medically called herpes zoster, is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same one that gave you chickenpox as a child. The virus remains dormant in the body for years. However, in 20% of people, it gets reactivated. It usually occurs in people over the age of 50. The virus travels from the nerve root to the skin and causes a painful eruption of blisters that eventually crust and scab over in a few weeks. For most people that's the end of it. Unfortunately people over 60 have about a 50% chance of having continuing pain, even after the lesions heal. This complication is called "postherpetic neuralgia" and can last from a few months to a few decades.
