Disseminated shingles, also known as disseminated herpes zoster, occurs when the varicella-zoster virus (the same virus that causes chickenpox) reactivates and spreads beyond the typical localized rash associated with shingles. Instead of being confined to a specific dermatomal area, the rash can appear over multiple areas of the body, often accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever and malaise. This form of shingles is more common in individuals with weakened immune systems, making them more susceptible to widespread infection. Prompt medical attention is important to manage the symptoms and reduce complications.
