    Clusters of blisters (erythematous maculopapular rash, arranged in bands, along the distribution of peripheral ganglia on one side, arranged in bands. It is accompanied by intense pain, and most patients have persistent pain, which often does not go away after the rash has healed. The prodromal symptom of the disease is pain around the nerve trunk that lasts for about 3 days, and is often combined with swollen pain in the lymph nodes to which it belongs.

    The rash is a continuous banded or patchy, with a nerve distribution in one or several segments, initially as a raised erythema, which quickly forms a group of large and small blisters with a central umbilical fossa, gradually becomes blood blisters (hernorrhagicbulls) and even pustules, and finally covers with necrotizing crusts. It often violates the lumbar flank, chest, neck, face and inner thighs, and generally does not exceed the midline, (a very small number of patients with severe disease or extremely poor physical strength will occasionally cross the midline, forming a phenomenon that occurs on both sides). The distribution of herpes zoster on the chest and abdomen, which obviously terminates in the midline and has no possibility of spreading to the contralateral side, is a diagnostic feature.

The ocular branch of the trigeminal nerve can also be susceptible, and headache is unavoidable after the typical rash appears. The nasal ciliary branches are invaded, and blisters may appear on both sides of the dorsum of the nose.

    Ocular changes range from conjunctivitis, conjunctival keratitis and even iridocyclitis combined with green cataracts, and the clinical symptoms are usually shriness and eye pain. When the patient's resistance is reduced due to leukemia and lymphoma, the rash is not only localized, but may appear as scattered blisters, similar to chickenpox scattered in the limbs or trunk. If such clinical symptoms appear, the patient should be examined in detail for underlying leukemia.

    **Lesions usually heal after 10 days of onset, severe necrosis, frontal herpes zoster will be delayed, and the course of the disease is about 4-6 weeks. It is extremely rare in children under the age of 15, and most of the patients are over 45 years old.
