Frequently asked questions: Is there a relationship between herpes zoster and chickenpox?

Both herpes zoster and varicella are caused by varicella-zoster virus, but they will show different diseases in different periods. For example, when children are infected with varicella-zoster virus, they usually get chickenpox. After chicken pox is cured, the virus will lurk in the ganglion of the body. With the increase of age, when people's immune function declines, the virus can be reactivated to cause herpes zoster.
