Herpes zoster also called shingles is a viral disease , caused by varicella zoster virus or VZV, the chicken pox virus and affects unilateral nerves. Anyone who's had chickenpox may develop shingles.
Herpes zoster infection is a rather common viral infection. The manifestations of this infection can range from subtle to extensive lesions such as alveolar bone necrosis and exfoliation of teeth. Pain, allodynia, and altered sensation are common features of acute herpes zoster
Herpes zoster infection and reactivation results in characteristic vesiculo-bullous-ulcerative lesions of the face and the oral cavity. Since it produces a radicular distribution of pain, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of radiculopathy. As per Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, patients who have risk behaviours of HIV infection should receive regular surveillance for undiagnosed HIV infection when they present with herpes zoster.
