A member asked:
What is the name of the disease that results from a dormant virus in the nervous system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps shingles: Herpes zoster virus seems to reside in the dorsal ganglion of the spinal cord and can become active in the form of shingles, but we have learned also plays a direct role in temporal arteritis or giant cell arteritis.
