Abstract

Background and Design: Herpes zoster (HZ) occurs by reactivation of the latent varicella zoster virus at dorsal root ganglia. In the literature, there are studies on socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with HZ in our country and in the world, however, there has been no study performed in our region. We aimed to evaluate demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with HZ and to investigate differences and similarities with other epidemiological studies in Turkey and in the world.Materials and Methods: One hundred sixty-six patients clinically diagnosed with HZ by dermatologists between January 2015 and December 2016 and were followed for 3 months in terms of possible complications were included this study. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were recorded.Results: The mean age of the patients was 51.48±21.05 (1-90) years. Eighty-seven patients were female (52.4%), 79 were male (47.6%). Thirteen patients (7.8%) were in the pediatric age group (

Özet

Amaç: Herpes zoster (HZ) dorsal kök ganglionlarında latent kalan varisella zoster virüsün reaktive olmasıyla ortaya çıkar. Literatürde ülkemizde ve dünyada HZ’nin sosyo-demografik ve klinik özelliklerini değerlendiren çalışmalar vardı ancak bölgemizde yapılan bir çalışma yoktu. Çalışmamızda HZ tanısı konulan hastaların klinik ve demografik özelliklerini incelemeyi ve Türkiye ve dünyadaki diğer epidemiyolojik çalışmalarla benzerlik ve farklılıklarını araştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2015-Aralık 2016 tarihleri arasında dermatologlar tarafından HZ tanısı konulan 166 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi ve olası komplikasyonlar açısından 3 ay boyunca takip edildi. Hastaların demografik ve klinik özellikleri kaydedildi. Bulgular: Hastaların yaşları 1 ile 90 yaş arasında değişmekteydi (ortalama yaş: 51,48±21,05). Hastaların 81’i (%52,4) kadın, 79’u (%47,6) erkekti. Hastaların 13’ü (%7,8) pediatrik yaş grubunda (
