Two Word Strategy Statement

Shingles OverviewShingles is a reactivation of the herpes zoster virus (varicella-zoster virus, or VZV). This same virus causes the childhood illness chickenpox. The chickenpox virus (varicella) remains in a dormant state in the body in the root of nerves that control sensation. In about 1 out of 5 people, the virus "wakes up," often many years after the chickenpox infection. The virus then travels along a sensory nerve into the skin causing a painful rash known as shingles.

•Shingles is derived from the Latin and French words for belt or girdle, reflecting distribution of the rash in a broad band. This band is usually only on one side of the body and represents a dermatome—the area that a single sensory nerve supplies in the skin. •Anyone who has had the chickenpox infection or vaccine can get the herpes zoster virus that causes shingles. Older people and those with cancer, HIV, or organ transplants have a decreased ability to fight off infection and a greater chance of getting shingles. •The majority of people with shingles, however, are healthy. No special tests need to be done to see if your immune system is strong.

Shingles CausesNo one knows for sure what causes the chickenpox virus to become activated to cause shingles. Some possibilities include the following: •Stress•Fatigue•A weakened immune system (This may be age-related, disease-related, or a drug-related decrease in ability to keep the chickenpox virus in an inactive state.) •Cancer •Radiation treatments •Injury of the skin where the rash occurs Shingles SymptomsDepending on the nerves involved, shingles can affect many parts of the body. •The first symptom of shingles is often extreme sensitivity or pain in a broad band on one side •of the body. The sensation can be itching, tingling, burning, constant aching, or deep, shooting, or "lightning bolt" pain. •Typically, 1-3 days after the pain starts, a rash with raised, red bumps and blisters erupts on the skin in the same distribution as the pain. They become pus-filled, then form scabs by 10-12 days. •The rash disappears as the scabs fall off in the next 2-3 weeks, and scarring may result. When to Seek Medical CareCall your doctor if you have pain or rash in a band on one side of your body. If you think you have shingles, you should be seen as soon as possible. Antiviral medication is effective only if given early. •If the rash with blisters is on your nose or near your eyes, you should be seen right away because the virus• may spread to the eye and cause eye damage or vision loss. •You should also be seen as soon as possible if you have a medical illness that decreases your ability to fight •off infection. You may be able to avoid complications. Go to a hospital's emergency department if these conditions develop: •If you have shingles and a high fever or feel sick •If the blisters are spreading to other areas of your body
