Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The same herpesvirus-varicella-zoster virus (VZV)-causes both herpes zoster (shingles) and varicella (chickenpox). Varicella is the primary infection, followed years later by herpes zoster, particularly among those who are immunosuppressed. Varicella-zoster virus does not produce erysipelas, cytomegalovirus, or warts.
