Eruption of acute, inflammatory herpectic vesicles on the body following the distribution of peripheral nerves. Seen only in people who previously had chicken pox and often reactivated by stress or an altered immune system. *Hickmanâ„¢ Catheter See *Broviacâ„¢ catheter. *NOTE: Broviacâ„¢ catheters and Hickmanâ„¢ catheters are trademarks of C.R.

A virus that settles around certain nerves causing blisters, swelling, and pain. This condition is also called shingles.
the medical term for shingles; an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, one of the herpesviruses family of viruses.
a virus that can produce shingles (painful skin eruptions that follow the underlying nerve routes inflamed by the virus).
a viral infection of the nerves, characterized by a painful skin rash of small blisters anywhere on the body.
A disease characterized by painful skin lesions that occur mainly on the trunk (back and stomach) of the body but which can also develop on the face and in the mouth. Complications include headache, vomiting, fever and meningitis. Recovery may take up to 5 weeks. Herpes Zoster is caused by the same virus that is responsible for chickenpox. Most people are exposed to this virus during childhood. After the primary infection (chickenpox), the virus becomes dormant, or inactivated. In some people the virus reactivates years, or even decades, later and causes herpes zoster. Also known as the shingles.
this is the medical name for shingles which is a outbreak of varicella, the chicken pox virus, that occurs usually along a single nerve producing blisters and pain
an inflammation of the skin caused by a Varicella-zoster virus (also causes chicken pox) characterized by collections of small blisters. Also known as 'shingles.'
a viral condition -- commonly called shingles -- consists of painful blisters on the skin that follow nerve pathways.
a condition characterized by painful blisters that typically appear in a dermatomal (linear) distribution on the skin following nerve pathways; blisters generally dry and scab leaving minor scarring. Shingles is caused by reactivation of a previous infection with the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) that initially causes chickenpox; VZV lies dormant in the nerves and reactivates when immune defenses are weakened. Shingles outbreaks may recur more frequently and VZV may become disseminated in people with HIV disease. Disseminated herpes zoster resembles chicken pox, with a rash, fever and possibly pneumonia; herpes zoster may also lead to ocular and neurological complications.
(Also called shingles.) A common viral infection of the nerves, characterized bya painful skin rash of small blisters anywhere on the body.
Also called shingles, zona, and zoster. The culprit is the varicella-zoster virus. Primary infection with this virus causes chickenpox (varicella). At this time the virus infects nerves (namely, the dorsal root ganglia) where it remains latent (lies low) for years. It can then be reactivated to cause shingles with blisters over the distribution of the affected nerve accompanied by often intense pain and itching.
A virus, otherwise known as the chickenpox virus. When it recurs on a strip of skin in an adolescent or adult it is sometimes called shingles. The virus – previously dormant in a nerve root along side the spinal cord – inflames nerves and results in painful skin eruptions that follow the route of these underlying nerves.
A type of infection caused by a different virus often called, "shingles". This condition is a reactivation of the chicken pox virus as an adult.
A painful viral nerve disease commonly called shingles.
A type of infection caused by a virus that can recur. This condition is a reactivation of the chicken pox virus as an adult. You should discuss any history of this condition with Dr. Myers before having laser vision correction.
An acute viral disease caused reactivation of chicken pox virus. Characterized by local pain and inflammation, and severe vesicular eruption along the distribution of one or more nerve roots.
(also called shingles): a viral infection in a nerve root, characterized by a painful skin rash with small blisters usually on one side of the body. See your dermatologist as soon as possible to receive anti-viral medications.
A condition characterized by painful blisters which generally dry and scab, leaving minor scarring. Also known as "shingles," it is caused by reactivation of a previous infection from varicella-zoster, the virus that causes chicken pox.
Herpes zoster is a viral infection of certain sensory nerves, causing pain and an eruption of blisters along the course of the affected nerve; shingles.
A form of the herpes virus that causes shingles and chicken pox.
A painful infection with the varicella virus that normally causes chicken pox. The virus may be dormant for many years in the cells of the nervous system. When reactivated it appears on the skin in various locations as painful sores. Also called shingles.
Another name for shingles.
Also known as shingles, this is a viral infection caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. When it strikes the face, it can cause burning pain.
Avirus that settles around certain nerves causing blisters, swelling, and pain. This condition is also called shingles. Hickman® catheter A special intravenous tubing that is surgically inserted into a large vein near the heart.
Herpes zoster, colloquially known as shingles, is the reactivation of varicella zoster virus (one of the Herpesviridae group), leading to a crop of painful blisters over the area of a dermatome. In Italy and in Malta, it is sometimes referred to as "St. Anthony's fire".
