Caption:
The pustulovesicular rash on this African-American woman’s face, represented a herpes outbreak, due to the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) pathogen, also known as Human herpesvirus 3 (HHV-3), which may lay dormant in the spinal nerve roots throughout a chickenpox-infected individual’s life, only manifesting its presence through outbreaks, as shingles, or herpes zoster. It is caused by the Herpesviridae chickenpox virus.
