Shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. Although shingles can occur anywhere on your body, it most often appears as a single stripe of blisters that wraps around either the left or the right side of your torso. Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus-the same virus that causes chickenpox. This case report discusses the case of a 43 year old man with concurrent cervical spine radiculopathy and herpes zoster shingles infection.
