2. Shingles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingles

   Shingles is a re-activation of latent VZV infection: zoster can only occur in someone who has previously had chickenpox (varicella). Shingles has no relationship to season and does not occur in epidemics. There is, however, a strong relationship with increasing age.

3. Ramsay Hunt syndrome type 2 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsay_Hunt_syndrome_type_2

   After it subsides, it stays dormant in nerve cells in the body. It may reactivate under conditions of physiological stress or if the immune system is suppressed in any way (for example during an illness or undergoing chemotherapy), resulting in herpes zoster, also known as shingles or Ramsay Hunt syndrome when facial paralysis in involved. If ...

4. Herpesviridae - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpesviridae

   Schematic drawing of a Herpesviridae virion. All members of the Herpesviridae share a common structure; a relatively large, monopartite, double-stranded, linear DNA genome encoding 100–200 genes encased within an icosahedral protein cage (with T=16 symmetry) called the capsid, which is itself wrapped in a protein layer called the tegument containing both viral proteins and viral mRNAs and a ...

5. Varicella zoster virus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varicella_zoster_virus

   It causes chickenpox (varicella) commonly affecting children and young adults, and shingles (herpes zoster) in adults but rarely in children. As a late complication of VZV infection, Ramsay Hunt syndrome type 2 may develop in rare cases. VZV infections are species-specific to humans. The virus can survive in external environments for a few hours.

6. Postherpetic neuralgia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postherpetic_neuralgia

   Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is neuropathic pain that occurs due to damage to a peripheral nerve caused by the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus (herpes zoster, also known as shingles). PHN is defined as pain in a dermatomal distribution that lasts for at least 90 days after an outbreak of herpes zoster. [ 1 ]

   It can take up to four weeks for the shingles rash to heal. Moore’s co-star Qualley, 29, revealed that she also dealt with challenges while working on the project. “I had crazy acne for a full ...

8. Viral pathogenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_pathogenesis

   A viral infection does not always cause disease. A viral infection simply involves viral replication in the host, but disease is the damage caused by viral multiplication. [5] An individual who has a viral infection but does not display disease symptoms is known as a carrier. [17] Mechanisms by which viruses cause damage and disease to host cells

9. Cellular stress response - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_stress_response

   Cellular stress response is the wide range of molecular changes that cells undergo in response to environmental stressors, including extremes of temperature, exposure to toxins, and mechanical damage. Cellular stress responses can also be caused by some viral infections. [1]
