AI overview
Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is a viral infection that causes a painful rash with blisters, usually appearing as a single stripe on one side of the body or face. While the rash typically heals within two to four weeks, some people experience lasting nerve pain that can persist for months or years after the rash disappears.

Bältros (latin: hérpes zóster), förr även kallat helveteseld, är en herpessjukdom som orsakas av varicella-zostervirus (VZV), samma virus som orsakar vattkoppor. Man kan bara få bältros om man haft vattkoppor tidigare.
