When reactivation occurs, the virus passes along the sensory nerve and erupts on the tissue innervated by that nerve (dermatome).The thoracic ganglion ranks first and the trigeminal ganglion second in order of frequency of zoster involvement. The ophthalmic division of the trigeminal ganglion is involved 20 times more frequently than the maxillary and mandibular branches and is known as herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO). [Pg.530]
