Shingles is a viral infection caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. It is characterized by a painful rash that appears on one side of the body, usually in a band-like pattern. The medical term for shingles is HERPES zoster, which is derived from the Greek words herpein (to creep) and zoster (girdle). The virus that causes shingles is known as the varicella-zoster virus, and it can remain dormant in the body for many years before reactivating and causing an outbreak.
