Herpes zoster, commonly known as shingles, is caused by a chickenpox virus known as the Varicella Zoster virus.
Further infections that can cause hypopyone include Lyme's disease and toxicariasis. Lyme's disease is an infection caused by ticks. Toxicariasis is a parasitic infection caused by a round roll in dogs and cats that infect people.
