Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Zoster (shingles) represents a reactivation of latent VZV and has been noted as early as the 1st week of life in infants born to mothers who contracted varicella during pregnancy. The lesions present as clustered vesicles or bullae in a dermatomal distribution. The pain of acute neuritis occurs in 75% of patients with herpes zoster. Prodromal pain can be constant or intermittent and burning or stabbing and can precede the lesions by days to weeks. Sometimes pain can persist beyond 1 month after the lesions have disappeared (known as postherpetic neuralgia).
