Core Tip

Core Tip: If the development of shingles does not occur in patients with complex underlying diseases, treatment and diagnosis of zoster sine herpete (ZSH) may be delayed. Clinical symptoms are well evaluated when the patient complains of pain. Serological tests should be conducted to provide a basis for the diagnosis of ZSH. It is possible to effectively treat the disease without causing serious complications.
