The illnesses caused by herpes viruses in general and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) especially have been known since antiquity. Since the discovery of VZV, which is one of the major human pathogens, knowledge has accelerated rapidly. This is a study of the virus, edited by a research group at the German university in Witten/Herdecke. This group developed different PCRs as well as NASBA (nucleic acid sequence based amplification) to study the viremic phase at different stages of VZV-associated dis

Herpes Zoster Virus: Discover the Symptoms of the Zoster Virus

Article by Daniel Herman


The Herpes Zoster Virus is responsible for causing shingles, which is a painful rash. This same virus is responsible for causing chicken pox in children. When most people have recovered from chicken pox the virus becomes dormant, however in some people the virus reactivates itself, usually several years after the individual first suffered from chicken pox.

Although shingles is a contagious infection it cannot be transmitted by touching an infected person. No one knows what causes the herpes zoster virus to reactivate itself in certain individuals, all that is known is what happens to it after chicken pox has been contracted, and the process that occurs before an individual contracts shingles. After an individual (usually a child) has suffered from chicken pox the virus travels to the root of the nerves where it becomes dormant. When an individual contracts shingles it's because the virus has "awoken" and travelled from the root of the nerves back up to the skin.

The people who are most susceptible to shingles are the elderly and people with immune deficiency (which can be caused by chemotherapy and HIV). But the vast majority of people who catch this infection are people with a normal immune system.

Now let's look at the symptoms of shingles:The initial indicator that the herpes zoster virus has reactivated is a burning sensation around the nerve paths as the virus travels through them. The individual will then feel pain, usually on one side of the body. The pain can affect different parts of the body but it depends on the positions of the nerve paths that the virus is travelling through.

The next symptom to occur is a rash consisting of miniature red blisters. The skin around the rash also becomes swollen. The sufferer will develop a fever and will find that his lymph nodes become swollen.After 3-5 days the blisters burst and become painful sores. Over the next week or so these sores scab over and eventually fall off.

Some people may experience postherpetic neuralgia, this is when the skin becomes very painful after the scabs have fallen off. This unpleasant symptom can last for between 3 weeks to several months.If you suffer from any of the symptoms mentioned above you should go and see your doctor right away, a doctor can quite easily diagnose this condition by the presence of the rash as well as looking of your medical history. If the symptoms that are displayed are not conclusive enough for a doctor to diagnose herpes then a scrape test or a blood test can be used in order to accurately diagnose the condition.

If shingles is diagnosed the doctor will prescribe antiviral medication such as zovirax or acyclovir. These types of medications are most effective when they are used as soon as the burning sensation begins. The treatment becomes less effective if it is used more than 48 hours after the rash has occurred. So time is of the essence in regards to treating shingles. If medication is taken early, then the patient can expect the infection to go away faster, and the infection will not be able to spread.

  1. Hallo an alle hier in diesem Forum, ich bin so froh, dass ich die großartige Gelegenheit habe, hier herauszukommen und meine Aussage darüber zu teilen, wie Dr. Isiramen mich vollständig von der Herpeskrankheit heilen konnte Ich habe verschiedene Möglichkeiten ausprobiert, um dieses Virus aus meinem Körper zu entfernen. Ich habe es auch für eine medizinische Behandlung von meinem Arzt gekauft, aber sie sind alle gescheitert. Vor einiger Zeit, als ich im Internet surfte, fand ich ein gutes Zitat über Dr. Isiramen Herbal Medizin, und wie er es benutzt hat, um Seelen vor verschiedenen Krankheiten zu retten, einschließlich Krebs. Jemand sagte auch, dass sie von Herpes aus seiner Medizin geheilt wurde, und sie gaben seine Kontaktdaten heraus, falls jemand seine Hilfe benötigt. Ich beschloss, Dr Isiramen und ich erzählten ihm von meiner Herpeskrankheit. Er sagte mir, ich solle mir keine Sorgen machen, dass er mir seine Kräutermedizin schicken würde. Alles, was ich tun musste, war, ihm meine persönlichen Daten und auch meine Privatadresse zu senden, damit er die Medizin an mich senden kann ac Tatsächlich tat ich alles, was von diesem Mann verlangt wurde. Ich nahm das Medikament so, wie es von ihm verschrieben wurde. Er sagte mir, ich solle mich im Krankenhaus untersuchen lassen. Zu meiner großen Überraschung sagte mir mein Arzt, das Herpes-Virus sei nicht mehr vorhanden Dort bin ich sogar in ein anderes Krankenhaus gegangen, um zu bestätigen, dass es immer noch dasselbe war. Heute bin ich so glücklich, dass ich wieder negativ bin. Dr. Isiramen hat mir Gründe gegeben, Freudentränen mitzuteilen. Sie können Dr. Isiramen auf seiner E-Mail erreichen wenden Sie sich an (oyimeanelisiramen@gmail.com) oder rufen Sie seine WhatsApp-Nummer an +2{348117963221.Nochmals vielen Dank, DR. Isiramen. Gott segne Sie und Ihre Familie
