Herpes Zoster
Herpes Zoster, also known as shingles, is a viral infection that causes a high fever, painful muscle and joint contractions, and a tingling sensation in the affected limb. It is caused by the herpes simplex virus, which is a member of the herpes virus family. Herpes Zoster can affect people of all ages and can be transmitted through various means, such as contact with the virus or close contact with an infected person. The virus is typically dormant in the body, but can be reactivated by factors such as stress, fever, or certain medications. If left untreated, Herpes Zoster can lead to a more serious condition, such as shingles neuralgia, which can cause long-term pain and numbness in the affected limb. Therefore, it is important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of Herpes Zoster.
