What is herpes zoster and how do you know if you have it? Herpes zoster can be very painful for those who experience it. Knowledge about this virus as well as others in the herpes family will help find new treatments and possibly a cure.

Herpes zoster is the virus that causes shingles. Herpes zoster shingles is similar to chickenpox but instead of occurring all over the body, they happen in one central location or one particular side of the body. The most obvious sign of herpes zoster shingles is the red rash or bumps that appear. Often before the rash appears, the person will feel itching and burning in the area. There are also other side effects such as pain, headache, fever and flu-like symptoms. Herpes zoster shingles can cause problems with other areas of the body as well. For example, shingles in the eye area or on the eyes can cause eye problems and even blindness. Weakness has been associated with herpes zoster.
