PASSAGE
A 44-year-old male presents with thoracic spine pain that began two weeks ago without a clear mechanism of injury. He describes the pain as a burning sensation that wraps around his left side. He denies any change in symptoms with movement. During the skin inspection, the physical therapist observes a vesicular rash on an erythematous base that follows a dermatomal pattern in the area of his chief complaint.
The presence of the rash, combined with the patient's pain description, indicates the need for a referral to a primary care physician for management of which condition?
