Publisher's Synopsis
Up to 20 percent of the population are affected at some time in their lives by shingles, officially known as herpes zoster. It attacks adults who had chickenpox as children but whose immune system weakened due to increasing age, illness, drugs, radiation therapy, or even physical or emotional stress. This book shows the reader how early recognition of shingles, along with the use of the newest antiviral drugs, can hasten recovery from shingles and minimise PHN and other complications.
