Some time ago, shingles and chickenpox were no relationship between the diseases. Time has passed and scientists have discovered that both diseases are caused by the same virus, varicella-zoster virus. This virus belongs to the family of herpes eruption, the causes of a particular skin.
Do you also know, the varicella-zoster virus, such as varicella (this is the primary infection leads to chickenpox) and herpes zoster (this is the reactivationvirus, lead to shingles).
Chickenpox is by coughing, sneezing or spitting spread. These organic materials contain the virus if a person is infected and the air coming into contact with a healthy person. The virus in the lungs and pass into the bloodstream. After a few days, the signs of chickenpox will appear on the skin.
The virus can also move in skin nerve cells that specialize in transmitting information fromBrain. If the shelters viruses in these cells, it can happen a few years before it can reactivate and cause shingles. The virus, and is hidden (latent) is also known as herpes zoster. The virus infects ganglia and nerves. The virus is most common nerve of the face and trunk, rarely in the spinal cord or the bloodstream.
Many people wonder why some develop shingles, and why others do not even have all sufferedChickenpox when younger. Doctors suspect that the virus reactivates in some people, because you take or suffer from other diseases that weaken the immune system, such as AIDS, cancer, diabetes, drugs that suppress the immune system. Adults are more likely to develop shingles, but not only. Children are also vulnerable to shingles. Only those who have a good immune response, and those who were vaccinated against these two diseases are in a safe place.
HerpesFamily consists of six viruses that affect humans. These viruses are looking just the same, and they all play within the structure of a cell. These viruses are: Herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus (responsible for mononucleosis), varicella-zoster virus, Human Herpes Virus type 6 (responsible for roseola) and Human Herpes Virus type 7
All these viruses are human organism in the room and then in a latent form for many years andTo reactivate when the immune system to respond well.
