A primary infection with VZV causes varicella in susceptible young children. After resolution of the primary infection, VZV establishes a lifelong latency within the cranial or dorsal root ganglia. With increasing age, family history of shingles, immunosuppression or other risk factors, there is a decline in the virus-specific T-cell-mediated immune (CMI) response which allows reactivation of latent VZV in the root ganglia resulting in HZ. There are curre...
