Ruptured bladder linked to shingles

A 77-year-old man with shingles needed surgery after he experienced an unusual complication of the infection: His bladder burst open. In rare instances, shingles can cause urinary retention, where the bladder doesn't empty enough or at all when you urinate. However, to the case report authors' knowledge, theirs is the first report of someone's bladder rupturing due to shingles-related urinary retention.
