What does epidemiology tell us about risk factors for herpes zoster?

The Lancet. Infectious diseases - 1 Jan 2004

Thomas Sara L, Hall Andrew J

Abstract excerpt

Reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus as herpes zoster is thought to result from waning of specific cell-mediated immunity, but little is known about its determinants in individuals with no underlying immunosuppression. We systematically reviewed studies of zoster epidemiology in adults and analysed data from a large morbidity study to identify factors that might be modulated to reduce the risk of zoster....
