This work provides, in a single volume, up-to-date knowledge about every aspect of varicella zoster virus, herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia. The first edition of this book, published in 1993, received wide acclaim. In this new edition, Dr. Watson and Dr. Gershon are joined by outstanding authorities on the multiple facets of these diseases. This book encompasses the impressive amount of knowledge which has been accumulated in recent years and enriches the knowledge not only about this particular syndrome but about chronic pain in general. It is a valuable contribution to the literature on pain which deals with all the basic scientific information on the acute and chronic stages of herpes zoster as well as the recent exciting developments in the treatment of this affliction. Clinicians, scientists and caregivers involved in the management of patients suffering from herpes zoster and varicella zoster will find this book an important resource.
