生蛇的風險因素 Risk factors for shingles

只要你曾經感染水痘,就有機會生蛇。而隨著年紀漸長、生活壓力增加、患慢性疾病如糖尿病、長期服用免疫系統抑制劑(如口服類固醇),潛伏於人體神經的水痘病毒就有機會被誘發並再度活躍。If you have been infected with chickenpox, you may develop shingles. Age, daily stress, chronic diseases such as diabetes, long term use of immunosuppressant  (such as oral steroids) are major risk factors, and the virus in the nerves may be reactivated again.

生蛇的症狀 Symptoms of shingles

生蛇是由於患者體内的帶狀疱疹病毒被激發而導致。生蛇患者最初身體某部分的皮膚會出現痕痛,之後出現紅疹,繼而有麻痺、針刺,灼熱,甚至猶如電擊的陣痛感覺。這些感覺是生蛇患者的常見現象。部分患者感到痛楚時,有機會誤以為患上其他疾病。例如胸口痛時,或以為是心臟病,當下未意識到是生蛇所致。Shingles are caused by the reactivation of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) inside patients. Patients will experience itchiness or soreness over the skin of a certain part of the body at first, but then a rash will appear, followed by numbness, tingling, burning, and even throbbing sensation of electric shock. These are common sensations experienced by patients with shingles. Yet, patients may mistake the symptoms for other diseases when feeling the pain. For example, if a patient experiences chest pain, s/he may think it is heart disease instead of shingles.

病毒會沿著神經線到達連接的皮膚表面,形成紅疹。紅疹會帶上水泡,蔓延成帶狀,出現的位置則視乎受感染的神經線分佈。水泡可持續一至十四日,期間可能會出現膿皰或血水,並於兩至三星期內乾水結痂再脫落。The virus travels along the affected nerve to the area of the skin served by those nerves, then cause a distinctive, stripe-like rash. The rash developed into blisters and spread along the affected area. The blisters may last for 1 to 14 days, which may accompany by pustules or blood.  The blisters usually dry up, form scabs and then fall off within two to three weeks.
