Can you get chickenpox after having shingles?
You had to have had chickenpox once to later develop shingles (a flareup of latent chickenpox virus still in the body). That initial case of chickenpox usually confers lifetime immunity to chickenpox, so you cannot be reinfected. But the immune system often is unable to totally eradicate the chickenpox virus from the body, only keep it at a very low "latent" level that is not contagious and causes no symptoms. Then as one gets older, sporadically the immune system loses control and the latent chickenpox virus growth flares, however instead of producing chickenpox symptoms it produces shingles symptoms. Eventually the immune system again gets control of the chickenpox virus in the body, which returns to latent levels again and the shingles goes away.
