Abstract Background Herpes zoster is an infectious skin disease caused by the reactivation of varicella virus (VZV), which has been latent in posterior root ganglia spinal cord or cranial for extended period. Neurological complications herpes include aseptic meningitis, white matter disease, peripheral motor neuropathy, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. However, reduced unilateral sweating VZV very rare. Case Presentation This article reports case a 34-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with sore throat, dizziness, on left side her body. Physical examination found lesions upper lip external ear canal (scabbed) Head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast showed no abnormalities. After lumbar puncture, patient diagnosed viral meningitis infection. The electromyographic sympathetic reflex indicated damage nerve. Conclusions Secondary reduction rare neurological complication zoster, autonomic nervous system. Literature review comprehensive that due activation damaged For patients exhibit acute hemibody sweat reduction, doctors should consider possibility secondary system zoster.

Background: The varicella–zoster virus (VZV) is a human herpesvirus that primarily causes varicella (chickenpox) as an initial infection, characterized by distinctive skin lesions. It can later reactivate, leading to herpes zoster (shingles). Once reactivated, VZV infection may result in serious complications, the most common being postherpetic neuralgia. Fortunately, vaccination prevent this condition. Objectives: In study, we provide comprehensive analysis of vaccines, including clinical trials, safety profiles, and reimbursement guidelines across various countries. Results: Our findings confirm vaccine’s effectiveness diverse populations, aligning with previous trials real-world data, summarize global guidelines.
