    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Virology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Herpes zoster (shingles) can exceptionally lead to neurological disorders.
    • Polyneuropathy following herpes zoster is extremely rare, with only 16 cases documented since 1924.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present two new clinical cases of polyneuropathy after herpes zoster.
    • To conduct neuropathological studies on one case to investigate the condition's cause.
    • To discuss the etiology and pathogenesis of herpes zoster-associated polyneuropathy.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical case presentation of two patients with post-herpetic polyneuropathy.
    • Neuropathological examination of nerve tissue from one patient.
    • Literature review and synthesis of existing research on herpes zoster and neurological complications.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed description of two distinct cases of polyneuropathy following herpes zoster infection.
    • Neuropathological findings provided insights into the nerve damage mechanisms.
    • The study contributes to the limited existing case reports and research.

    Conclusions:

    • Polyneuropathy is a rare but significant neurological complication of herpes zoster.
    • Further neuropathological and experimental studies are needed to fully elucidate the pathogenesis.
    • Understanding this rare condition aids in diagnosing and managing neurological sequelae of herpes zoster.
