Shingles sideline David Letterman
From Associated Press
The eye infection that kept David Letterman from hosting his “Late Show” on CBS this week was caused by shingles, his doctor said.
The condition is a viral infection of the nerve roots that typically results in pain and rash. It’s caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. “Dave is on his way to a full recovery,” said Dr. Louis J. Aronne.
“Late Show” will be in reruns next week.
