Herpes ZosterHerpes Zoster – General InformationHerpes Zoster is considered a viral condition that usually causes painful rash. Also known as shingles, this condition appears as a pattern of blisters that starts from the patient’s middle back and continues around one side of his chest to the breastbone. There are cases in which the condition has affected other parts of the patient’s body, such as neck, face and scalp. The cause of Herpes Zoster is not immediately evident, but the pain caused by the condition can be severe. The pattern of rash and blisters that starts from one side of the patient’s body makes easier for the doctor to identify the condition. In almost all the cases, the condition is caused by a varicella zoster virus, which can also lead to the appearance of a childhood condition also known as chickenpox. If the patient had chickenpox, the virus remains inactive in his nerves. After a period of time, the virus can be stimulated and become active causing Herpes Zoster. This kind of skin condition is not considered a life threatening one, but it causes painful symptoms. There are cases in which the rash can progress causing a debilitating complication also known as postherpetic neuralgia. The bad part about this condition it that it causes the skin to become painful and sensitive to touch for even years after the rash has healed. There are some certain vaccines which can help reduce the risk of developing the herpes, but early treatment can speed the healing and decrease the chances of developing complications.Herpes Zoster – SymptomsThe main signs and symptoms of Herpes Zoster can include pain, burning, tingling, numbness or extreme sensitivity in a certain area of the patient’s body, a red colored rash that appears after several days after the pain, blisters filed with clear fluid that break open and crust over, itching, fever and chills, headaches and upset stomach or abdominal pain. Usually, the rash caused by this kind of skin condition appears on only one side of the patient’s body, which is an important fact in diagnosing the Herpes Zoster condition. There are cases in which the blisters appear as a pattern that wraps the middle of the patient’s back around one side of the chest area to the breastbone. These blisters also appear on the path of the nerve where the virus remained inactive. In some cases, the blister pattern appears around the patient’s eye, areas of the neck or face. The earliest symptom of Herpes Zoster is pain, which can be severe, with just the most little touch causing intense pain. There are cases in which the symptoms can be confused with the one caused by other conditions such as kidney stones, gallstones or appendicitis, depending on the location of the pain. Some patients can experience the pain without any rash, which makes it more challenging for the doctor to diagnose and treat. This kind of skin condition is similar to the childhood condition called chickenpox, but it causes a more severe pain and less itching in the first stage of evolution.Herpes Zoster – TreatmentUsually, Herpes Zoster is diagnosed using the patient’s history of pain on one side of his body in addition with usual signs and symptoms of the condition. There are cases in which the doctor can only perform thorough physical exam and ask the patient some questions about the evolution and the symptoms of the disease. The doctor can also take a tissue sample or culture of the present blisters to exam it in the laboratory. In almost all the cases, an outbreak caused by Herpes Zoster heals on its own in less than few weeks, but the available treatment options can relive pain, speed the healing and prevent any future complications. There are three major treatment options for this kind of viral condition which can include high doses of antiviral medicines, to reduce the duration and severity of the patient’s signs and symptoms, anti inflammatory medicines, to reduce inflammation, and pain relievers, to control the pain. To treat Herpes Zoster, the antiviral medicines are given in high doses to achieve maximum effect, and have the effect of reducing the duration and severity of the symptoms. These medicines are usually administered orally, and the most common antiviral drugs are acyclovir or Zovirax, valacyclovir or Valtrex, and famciclovir or Famvir. For greatest effects, it is recommended to start the treatment trial in the first 72 hours after the first sign of the condition. To treat this kind of viral condition, doctors can apply a treatment trial with anti inflammatory medicines, which have the effect of easing the inflammation. The most used type of this medicine is the corticosteroid medicine called prednisone, which is applied to reduce the patient’s inflammation and to decrease the risk of postherpetic neuralgia. To relieve the pain caused by the condition, doctors can recommend narcotics or opioids. There are cases in which the doctor can apply tricyclic antidepressants or a certain type of anticonvulsants to control the pain even after the condition heals. Sometimes, to relieve the pain, patients can use a topical ointment that contains capsaicin or a skin patch that also contains a pain relieving medicine called lidocaine. There are two available vaccines to prevent Herpes Zoster, and can include chickenpox or varicella vaccine and varicella zoster vaccine. The chickenpox vaccine is prescribed as Varivax and is used to prevent a childhood condition, and it is recommended to use in children with the age between 12 months and 18 months. It is not sure if this kind of vaccine will guarantee the patient that he or she will not experience a recurring of the condition, but it surely reduces the risk of complications and reduces the severity of the condition. The varicella zoster vaccine is prescribed as Zostavax and is effective in older patients without the guaranteed effect of non - recurring. This vaccine is administered by an injection in the patient’s upper arm. There are also some side effects of this prevention option which can include redness, pain, swelling at the injection area, itching and headaches. It is important to make the vaccine only after the medical status of the Herpes Zoster improves. |
