The feature that distinguishes herpes zoster from other vesiculo bullous eruption is_____________?

Correct answer: A. Unilateral occurrence

  • A. Unilateral occurrence
  • B. Severe burning pain
  • C. Prominent crusting vesicles
  • D. Sub epidermal bullous formation

Explanation

Herpes zoster typically follows the distribution of one sensory nerve and therefore produces a unilateral vesicular eruption that does not cross the midline. Pain and crusting may occur but are not as distinguishing as the unilateral pattern.
