China is watching the cosying up between Australia and Japan, two of America's key Pacific allies, and it does not approve. That unsettles a number of Australians who worry about the growing dilemma of relying on China for prosperity and the United States for securityhttp://econ.st/1qXQStB

帶狀皰疹英語:herpes zoster、shingles、zoster、或zona)中醫又稱纏腰火龍纏腰火丹,俗稱蜘蛛瘡生蛇皮蛇白蛇飛蛇,是一種病毒性疾病,特徵為局部出現強烈疼痛的群聚皮膚水皰[1][2]。典型病徵為在身體左側或右側或臉部呈現帶狀的水痘[3],水痘出現後二至四天會出現麻刺感或局部疼痛[3][4],其他症狀鮮少出現[3]。紅疹通常會於二到四週內痊癒[1],然而有些人發生持續數月或數年的神經痛,這種情形稱為帶狀皰疹後的神經痛免疫抑制的患者身上可能疹子會散布較廣的範圍[3];如果疹子擴散到眼部,可能導致視力減損[1]

帶狀皰疹通常是因人體對水痘帶狀皰疹病毒(VZV)有所反應而引起。初次感染VZV的患者可能會出現水痘。水痘痊癒後,病毒會潛伏神經元[3]。當病毒再度轉為活性,便會經由神經行遍全身造成疹子[4]。引起病毒活化的危險因子包含上了年紀、免疫低下、以及未滿18個月得水痘。病毒如何滯留於人體或再次活性化的成因目前仍不清楚[3]。 未得過水痘的患者會在暴露於疹子病毒的情況下得水痘,但不會引起帶狀皰疹[5]。診斷結果通常因個人體徵或症狀而異[6]。帶狀皰疹病毒與單純皰疹病毒雖同屬皰疹病毒科,但分別為不同種病毒[7]
