Did You Know? Shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus stays dormant (inactive) in the body. For reasons that are not fully known, the virus can reactivate years later, causing shingles.
Causes of Shingles. The most significant cause of shingles is the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. Chickenpox virus after being suppressed will hide under the nerves near the spinal cord. The location where the chickenpox virus will leave dormant until reactivated is called the dorsal root ganglion.
