Herpes zoster is a painful skin rash that develops in individuals who have been previously exposed to the varicella zoster virus. The rash is usually limited to the dermatome of the affected nerve. In young people and those with competent immune systems, herpes zoster usually resolves without any need for treatment. For older patients, antiviral therapies are recommended to aid recovery and inhibit the development of post-herpetic neuralgia. This chapter describes the characteristics, identified risk factors, pathological processes, and current management of herpes zoster.
