Herpes Zoster Stages

Herpes zoster is commonly known as shingles. It is also known simply as zoster or zona. Shingles or herpes zoster is a nerve infection that results from the reactivation of the virus that causes chickenpox. The chickenpox virus (varicella zoster) continues to reside in a dormant state in the body's nervous system after an episode of chickenpox. It can go on to cause shingles many years after the chickenpox infection.
