Clearly some viruses stay in the body evolving in various ways, going dormant or otherwise hidden until otherwise noticed... Just scan these link briefs on Chickenpox...Shingles, a virus that many folks have had...
and still have.

- Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. When people are first infected with the varicella-zoster virus, usually as children, they get chickenpox. Years or decades later, the virus can reactivate and cause shingles. Anyone who has had chickenpox is at risk of shingles.
2. Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a highly neurotropic, exclusively human herpesvirus. Primary infection causes
varicella (
chickenpox), wherein VZV replicates in multiple organs, particularly the skin. ... VZV reactivation produces
zoster (
shingles), often complicated by serious neurological and ocular disorders.Sep 4, 2013

3. Varicella-
zoster virus causes
chickenpox (
varicella) in childhood, becomes latent in dorsal root ganglia, and can reactivate years later to produce
shingles (
zoster, zona) in adults, as well as postherpetic neuralgia and vasculopathies, which may involve
brain, spinal cord, emergent cranial nerves, or peripheral nerves ...Mar 27, 2018

4. How dormant infections caused by childhood chicken pox can -- decades later -- trigger shingles
Date: June 4, 2015 Source: Bar-Ilan University Summary: Scientists report on a novel experimental model that, for the first time, successfully mimics the 'sleeping' and 'waking' of the varicella-zoster virus. Based on neurons generated from human embryonic stem cells, and not requiring the use of experimental animals, the model allows scientists to test drugs and develop therapies to prevent shingles. It may also contribute to the fight against other viruses -- such as herpes and polio -- that target the human nervous system.

5. After the initial infection,
chickenpox virus resides in ganglia along the spine and in the
brain, and later might cause the disease shingles. Both shingles and
chicken pox can lead to neurological complications such as encephalitis, meningitis, halfsingle-sided facial paralysis and stroke. Jun 14, 2013
