Kenneth L Tyler, J David Beckham

Abstract

Practical, evidence-based recommendations for the management of acute shingles (herpes zoster) were published this year in Clinical Infectious Diseases. These guidelines were the result of a consensus meeting of several groups with an interest in neuropathic pain and varicella-zoster virus research. This article summarizes the key findings and recommendations that were generated from this meeting and reviews some of the research on which these guidelines are based.
