There are many inducements, such as cold, overwork, some infectious diseases, malignant tumors, AIDS, systemic lupus erythematosus, radiotherapy, burns and the use of certain drugs (such as immunosuppressants and adrenal cortisol, antimony, arsenic, etc.). It can be seen that people may suffer from varicella or herpes zoster successively in their life, or only one of them may occur, or they may be infected with the virus without any manifestation.
