Detailed explanation-1: -Varicella–zoster virus (VZV) is a human herpesvirus that causes varicella (chicken pox) as a primary infection and, after a variable period of latency in trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia, reactivates to cause herpes zoster (shingles).
Detailed explanation-2: -Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes varicella (chickenpox). Primary infection with VZV causes varicella. Once the illness resolves, the virus remains latent in the dorsal root ganglia.
Detailed explanation-3: -VZV causes varicella during primary infection, establishes latency in sensory ganglia, and may reactivate to cause herpes zoster (4, 12). VZV persistence in cranial nerve and dorsal root sensory ganglia appears to be a consistent consequence of primary VZV infection (4, 5, 12, 31).
Detailed explanation-4: -Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes varicella and establishes latency in sensory ganglia.
