Abstract

Herpes zoster is a very common viral infection with disabling complications like post herpetic neuralgia in the affected dermatomes. Though this study was aimed to identify the most common dermatome involved, we also tried to find out the underlying triggers which herald the onset of this condition. Adequate treatment at appropriate time will prevent the complications associated with this disease, thereby enhancing quality of life for all patients.
