Epidemiological Factors

Herpes zoster is a neurocutaneous disease caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV). It results from the reactivation of latent virus in dorsal root or cranial nerve cells following primary infection or vaccination as a consequence of waning of immunity. There may be a possible association between the occurrence of varicella infection and various environmental factors. So this study was designed to know the pattern of clinical presentation, seasonal variations and epidemiological factors of Herpes Zoster patients. A total of 172 Herpes Zoster out of 27979 patients of different skin diseases attending at Dhamrai Upazilla Hospital in Bangladesh were studied between March 2010 to June 2013. The frequency of occurrence of Herpes Zoster was 0.61%. Among the patients, 57.56% were male and 42.44% were female between the ages of 5 months to 90 years, with mean age 39 years. Nearly half of the patients (48.26%) were in between 30-59 years age. The patients were continued to report throughout the year with a surge in rainy season. Majority of the patients (65.70%) had thoracic dermatome followed by cervical and lumbar distribution, each of them 11%. A large-scale and prospective community based study is recommended to enrich the findings as well as a complete clinical and epidemiological picture of Herpes zoster in Bangladesh.Faridpur Med. Coll.

New Hypothesis

Dr Hope-Simpson presents a study of all cases of herpes zoster occurring in his general practice during a sixteen-year period. The rate was 3·4 per thousand per annum, rising with age, and the distribution of lesions reflected that of the varicella rash. It was found that severity increased with age, but that the condition did not occur in epidemics, and that there was no characteristic seasonal variation. A low prevalence of varicella was usually associated with a high incidence of zoster. Dr Hope-Simpson suggests that herpes zoster is a spontaneous manifestation of varicella infection. Following the primary infection (chickenpox), virus becomes latent in the sensory ganglia, where it can be reactivated from time to time (herpes zoster). Herpes zoster then represents an adaptation enabling varicella virus to survive for long periods, even without a continuous supply of persons susceptible to chickenpox.
