Herpes zoster (HZ) is a common viral disease that mainly affects the elderly population with a rising incidence. The occurrence of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is the dominant and thorny complication, which thus further aggravates the disease burden. Vaccination and clinical application of small molecules and biologics for certain diseases are identified as new risk factors for the development of HZ development. HZ vaccination has emerged as a pivotal prevention measure against the occurrence of HZ. Refining the diagnosis and early standardized antiviral treatment of HZ is the key to improve standardized management strategy.
