Herpes zoster (shingles) can cause acute urinary retention, a condition affecting urination. This condition often resolves on its own, but understanding the link is crucial for patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Herpes zoster, commonly known as shingles, is a viral infection that can cause various neurological complications.
  • Acute urinary retention (AUR) is a sudden inability to urinate, requiring immediate medical attention.

Observation:

  • This study examines two cases where herpes zoster preceded acute urinary retention.
  • The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms linking the viral infection to urinary dysfunction were analyzed.

Findings:

  • Herpes zoster is implicated as a significant factor in the development of micturition disorders, including AUR.
  • The neurological impact of the varicella-zoster virus can disrupt bladder function.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider herpes zoster as a potential cause of acute urinary retention, especially in patients with characteristic dermatomal rash.
  • While often self-limiting, prompt diagnosis and management of AUR secondary to herpes zoster are important for patient outcomes.
