“…Post Google scholar search, 13 additional articles were further added. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] Also the 2013 paper from Nithyanandam et al 25 was a post-hoc analysis, so we retrieved the data from the primary publication. 41 Data were extracted from the 27 relevant articles for review.…”

“…Most studies (n = 21) included patients of all ages, while four studies reported HZ cases in the pediatric population only. 18,19,21,33 Eight studies reported exclusively on HZO cases. 16,17,23,32,35,37,38,41 Of the 27 publications, seven 21,22,24,27,28,31,40 provided proportions of HZ cases among all patients who attended outpatient visits in the considered departments, ranging between 0.28 and 2.36% (Figure 1).…”

In India, although incidence of Herpes zoster has not been assessed, regional cases have been reported. We revisited the peer-reviewed literature on clinical cases of HZ to depict the trends in population characteristics, disease presentation, and predisposing factors for the disease in India. Systematically conducted literature search yielded 27 studies, published between January 2011 and May 2020, reporting 3124 HZ clinical cases, with high proportions in older adults (>50 years of age: 15.0-81.3%). Thoracic dermatome was consistently reported as the most frequent site affected by HZ (38.9-71.0%). Postherpetic neuralgia and secondary bacterial infections were the two most frequent complications (10.2-54.7% and 3.5-21.0%, respectively). Despite the paucity of data and gaps in the reporting of HZ cases, available evidence indicate that the disease causes an important burden to older adults in India, suggesting that preventive strategies, along with recommendations to healthcare practitioners, can help mitigate the burden of HZ.

<p>Herpes zoster (HZ) adalah reaktivasi virus varicella-zoster virus (VZV) yang menetap dalam bentuk infeksi laten di dalam dorsal root ganglion. Faktor risiko HZ anak adalah infeksi primer VZV intrauterin serta varisela akut pada satu tahun pertama kehidupan. Pada anak imunokompeten, penurunan imunitas seluler spesifik berperan penting dalam reaktivasi VZV. Gejala prodromal biasanya tidak terlihat pada anak-anak. Lesi vesikel berkelompok terdistribusi secara dermatomal. Diagnosis secara klinis, bila perlu dilakukan pemeriksaan Tzanck smear, tes serologis, kultur, dan lain-lain. Terapi simptomatik dan asiklovir. Komplikasi dapat berupa superinfeksi bakteri; pada anak jarang terjadi neuralgia pasca-herpes.</p><p>Herpes zoster (HZ) is a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which settles as latent infection in the dorsal ganglion root. Risk factors in children are primary intrauterine VZV infection and acute varicella in the children’s first year of life. In immunocompetent children, a decrease in specific cellular immunity plays an important role in VZV reactivation. Prodromal symptoms are usually absent in children. Lesions are dermatomally distributed grouped vesicles. Diagnosis is clinical; Tzanck smear, serologic test, culture, and other tests can be planned. Treatment includes symptomatic measures and acyclovir. Complications can be bacterial superinfection; post herpetic neuralgia rarely occurs in children.</p>
