The varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox, reactivates to create herpes zoster, sometimes referred to as shingles by some people. It mostly affects people who are elderly or have compromised immune systems. The disease's hallmark is a painful, blistering skin rash that is frequently restricted to a single dermatome. The pathophysiology, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, management, and epidemiology of herpes zoster are the main topics of this review. The article also covers side effects such post-herpetic neuralgia and the role of immunisation in preventing the illness. Current approaches to controlling and preventing shingles are thoroughly reviewed, including recent developments in immune response modulation and antiviral treatments. The following aspects of HZ, including aetiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical stages, complications, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and conclusion, are highlighted in this review. The review provides general details concerning shingles. The varicella zoster virus is the cause of the viral infection that causes the disease.
