A lot of infectious diseases can occur in pregnancy. Their acquisition, clinical presentation, and course during gestation may be altered due to deficiency of the maternal cellular immunity. Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, (reactivation of varicella zoster virus) is one of the least infections which can be contracted by pregnant woman. But it does not present a big problem to mother or baby. The complications of zoster in pregnancy are no different from those in non-pregnant women.
