Pasien mengidap diabetes melitus tipe 2 (DM tipe 2), rutin mengonsumsi obat hipoglikemik oral (OHO). Diagnosis berdasarkan anamnesis dan temuan klinis yang khas; terapi dengan antivirus, analgetik, dan tetap mengonsumsi OHO.   Herpes zoster is a neurocutaneous disease caused by latent varicella zoster virus.
