Although most patients with herpes zoster are otherwise healthy, all should be screened for occult neoplastic disease. Treatment is frustrating and nonspecific. Postherpetic neuralgia is especially difficult to manage and tends to be more severe among geriatric patients. All patients with trigeminal nerve involvement should be referred to an ophthalmologist for evaluation and possible treatment of ocular complications.
虽然大多数带状疱疹患者在其他方面健康，但所有患者都应筛查隐匿性肿瘤疾病。治疗令人沮丧且缺乏特异性。疱疹后神经痛尤其难以处理，且在老年患者中往往更为严重。所有三叉神经受累的患者都应转诊给眼科医生，以评估并可能治疗眼部并发症。
