Shingles :
Shingles is another type of viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It is characterized by a typical rash, fever, chills and tingling sensation in the affected areas of the body. Children are supposed to be vaccinated against shingles and chickenpox to prevent the occurrence of these infections. Shingles are predominantly seen in older people, and adult vaccinations for shingles are also available to prevent the infection. Shingles is not contagious and there is no definitive cure to manage the shingles. It is treated with anti-viral medications such as acyclovir, pain relievers and topical ointments to control the rash. The affected individual is placed in isolated room to avoid potential infections. Post shingles complications like postherpetic neuralgia are severe and may persist for years. If left untreated, shingles rash may spread to other parts and lead to bacterial entry causing septicemia. Seeking medical assistance in case of medical emergency is highly advisable.
