Abstract

Post-herpetic neuralgia is the chronic phase of herpes zoster, characterized by pain and an acute rash. Herpes zoster is caused by the reactivation of latent varicella virus that is thought to lie in the Gasserian, geniculate, and dorsal root ganglia after chickenpox infection in early life. Here, we present a case report of post-herpetic neuralgia in a 64-year-old male patient.
