Purpose The burden of herpes zoster (HZ) is substantial and numerous chronic underlying conditions are known as predisposing risk factors for HZ onset. Thus, a comprehensive study is needed to synthesize existing evidence. This study aims to comprehensively identify these risk factors. Methods A systematic literature search was done using MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science for studies published from January 1, 2003 to January 1, 2023. A random-effects model was used to estimate pooled Odds Ratios (OR). Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. For sensitivity analyses basic outlier removal, leave-one-out validation and Graphic Display of Heterogeneity (GOSH) plots with different algorithms were employed to further analyze heterogeneity patterns. Finally, a multiple meta-regression was conducted. Results Of 6392 considered records, 80 were included in the meta-analysis. 21 different conditions were identified as potential risk factors for HZ: asthma, autoimmune disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disorders, chronic heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), depression, diabetes, digestive disorders, endocrine and metabolic disorders, hematological disorders, HIV, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), mental health conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, neurological disorders, psoriasis, renal disorders, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and transplantation. Transplantation was associated with the highest risk of HZ (OR = 4.51 (95% CI [1.9–10.7])). Other risk factors ranged from OR = 1.17–2.87, indicating an increased risk for all underlying conditions. Heterogeneity was substantial in all provided analyses. Sensitivity analyses showed comparable results regarding the pooled effects and heterogeneity. Conclusions This study showed an increased risk of HZ infections for all identified factors.

“…Dupuytren disease is a condition that affects the fascia and causes deformity to the hand, though the causes of itself remain unknown [ 31 ]. A positive association between the risk of herpes zoster and plantar fascial fibromatosis incidence was identified in the literature [ 32 ], but no causal evidence was ever reported. Coeliac disease, sarcoidosis and allergic rhinitis are the consequences of dysregulation of the immune system.…”

Background The immune response to infections could be largely driven by the individual’s genes, especially in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a highly communicable pathogen. In addition to infection, the reactivations of VZV can be a potential causal factor for multiple traits. Identification of VZV immune response-related health conditions can therefore help elucidate the aetiology of certain diseases. Methods A phenome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) study of anti-VZV immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels with 1370 traits was conducted to explore the potential causal role of VZV-specific immune response on multiple traits using the UK Biobank cohort. For the robustness of the results, we performed MR analyses using five different methods. To investigate the impact of the MHC region on MR results, the analyses were conducted using instrumental variables (IVs) inside (IVmhc) and outside (IVno.mhc) the MHC region or all together (IVfull). Results Forty-nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (IVfull) were associated with anti-VZV IgG levels, of which five (IVmhc) were located in the MHC region and 44 (IVno.mhc) were not. Statistical evidence (false discovery rate < 0.05 in at least three of the five MR methods) for a causal effect of anti-VZV IgG levels was found on 22 traits using IVmhc, while no evidence was found when using IVno.mhc or IVfull. The reactivations of VZV increased the risk of Dupuytren disease, mononeuropathies of the upper limb, sarcoidosis, coeliac disease, teeth problems and earlier onset of allergic rhinitis, which evidence was concordant with the literature. Suggestive causal evidence (P < 0.05 in at least three of five MR methods) using IVfull, IVmhc and IVno.mhc was detected in 92, 194 and 56 traits, respectively. MR results from IVfull correlated with those from IVmhc or IVno.mhc. However, the results between IVmhc and IVno.mhc were noticeably different, as evidenced by causal associations in opposite directions between anti-VZV IgG and ten traits. Conclusions In this exploratory study, anti-VZV IgG was causally associated with multiple traits. IVs in the MHC region might have a substantial impact on MR, and therefore, could be potentially considered in future MR studies.

“…Disease-related stress can trigger the reactivation of VZV. Infectious disease, including those are bacterial [ 8 ] or viral [ 9 ] and that cause chronic musculoskeletal [ 10 – 12 ] or urogenital [ 13 , 14 ] pain, have been associated with HZ. FLD can have adverse effects on the human body and may induce stress in affected individuals.…”

Background Disease-related stress can trigger the occurrence of herpes zoster (HZ). Fatty liver disease (FLD) can have adverse effects on the human body and may induce stress in affected individuals. In this study, we investigated whether FLD is associated with an elevated risk of HZ. Methods For this study, we utilized data from the National Health Insurance Research Database, patients with FLD from 2000 to 2017 were observed (follow-up until 2018). Patients were considered to have FLD if they had at least two outpatient visits or at least one admission record with a diagnostic code of FLD. Patients with FLD were matched 1:1 by age, sex, comorbidities, and index year with control patients. Additionally, the FLD was further categorized into non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) groups. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate the incidence rate and adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of HZ for FLD and AFLD and for various age groups, sex and comorbidities. Cumulative incidence curve for HZ was plotted through the Kaplan–Meier method, and p-value was calculated using the log-rank test. Results After 1:1 propensity-score matching, each cohort comprised 62,418 patients. The FLD cohort was further divided into NAFLD and AFLD groups, which respectively comprised 55,709 and 6709 patients. The FLD cohort had a risk of HZ significantly higher than that of the control cohort (aHR = 1.06; p < 0.001). Additionally, the NAFLD group exhibited a significantly higher risk of HZ than did the AFLD group (aHR = 1.22; p < 0.001). Among patients without any comorbidities, those with FLD had a higher risk of HZ than did those without FLD (aHR = 1.14; p < 0.001). Conclusion Patients with FLD are at an increased risk of HZ development. Additionally, NAFLD is associated with a higher risk of HZ than AFLD. Therefore, patients with NAFLD should be informed of their increased risk of HZ.
