“…Factors determining the development of zoster are usually unknown but some systemic diseases are associated with a significantly increased incidence 3 . An investigation in a large children's hospital showed that 3% of children with Hodgkin's disease or leukemia developed zoster during their illness 4 . The high incidence in the lymphomas is believed to be due to an impaired antibody response.…”

“…Chemical cystitis, which is reported to be a troublesome complication in adult patients (Anders 1964), occurred only once in this series and was not severe. Herpes zoster developed in two girls under treatment for Hodgkin's disease; it was not severe but it is an unusual complication of malignant disease in childhood and has been commented on elsewhere (Keidan and Mainwaring 1965).…”

“…Herpes zoster is characterized by an acute vesicular rash accompanied by severe, unilateral pain along the anatomical dermatome. Although it can occur at any age, it primarily occurs in people >50 years old or in patients with a compromised immune system 2 3 4 . It can cause complications such as post herpetic neuralgia, motor nerve paralysis or Ramsay-Hunt syndrome 5 6 7 .…”

BackgroundHerpes zoster is characterized by unilateral grouped vesicles along the distribution of a dermatome. A global recurrence rate as low as 0.5%∼6.2% has been reported for herpes zoster. The recurrence of herpes zoster is higher in immunocompromised patients and older patients.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to assess the frequency of herpes zoster recurrence and factors that can influence its recurrence.MethodsFrom January 2005 to December 2015, 14,343 patients with herpes zoster were enrolled in this study. The patients were diagnosed at Hallym University Medical Centers and Kangwon National University Hospital in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Gangwon. Herpes zoster recurrence and patient characteristics were surveyed by medical record review and a telephonic survey.ResultsThe overall frequency of herpes zoster recurrence was 1.18%. The frequency of recurrence was higher in women than in men. It was also higher in patients aged 50∼70 years than in patients who were younger or older than this. Additionally, we assessed that the frequency of recurrence was statistically higher in patients with a compromised immune system and in patients who experienced longer lasting pain during their first episode.ConclusionThe frequency of herpes zoster recurrence is more common in women, older age, patient with longer pain duration and immunocompromised patients.
