Adult Herpes Zoster: Case Series and Review

Öz

This case series showed that the epidemiology, pathogenesis, natural history, common symptoms, treatment, and prevention of zoster disease. Anyone infected with varicella virus in childhood is at risk for reactivation of dormant virus and the onset of zoster disease, although it occurs with increasing frequency in the elderly as a result of waning of cell-mediated immunity. The appearance of herpes zoster is sufficiently distinctive that a clinical diagnosis is usually accurate. Acyclovir, valacyclovir, brivudine, and famciclovir are approved for the treatment of herpes zoster. These drugs are well tolerated and are similar in terms of both efficacy and safety. Antiviral treatments can decrease the severity of zoster rash and pain but cannot prevent disease onset or completely eliminate the most frequent symptoms. The zoster vaccine may help prevent the onset of herpes zoster in the target population of those age 60 years and older. Herpes zoster ophthalmicus is not in and of itself sight threatening or difficult to treat, but if the eye becomes involved, the risk to the patient increases, and the patient should be referred to an ophthalmologist. Herpes zoster is a disease associated with aging that can significantly impair quality of life for affected individuals. Here, we report teen cases of herpes zoster along with a review of the literature.
