Abstract

Introduction: Herpes Zoster is a skin disease which occurs following the reactivation ofvaricella zoster virus. Our aim was to investigate the incidence, clinical course and complicationsof herpes zoster in a geriatric population.Materials and Method: Geriatric patients with the diagnosis of herpes zoster whoadmitted to our outpatient clinic during one-year period were recruited to this study. Theincidence of patients with herpes zoster was calculated among all patients who admitted toour outpatient clinic. Additionally; age, gender, the presence and duration of prodromal pain,potential triggering factors and complications were noted. The severity of pain was measuredwith the Visual Analogue Scale.Results: In total, 3386 geriatric patients were admitted to our dermatology outpatient clinicover the one-year period. Of these, 53 patients (1.56%) were diagnosed with herpes zoster. Thehighest frequency of herpes zoster was detected in July (3.31%), whereas the lowest frequencywas detected in October (0.40%). Prodromal pain was observed in 28 patients (52.8%). Themean Visual Analogue Scale score was 5.98±2.71. There were triggering factors in 41 patients(77.4%). Complications of herpes zoster occurred in seven patients (13.2%). Visual AnalogueScale scores were significantly higher in patients who had prodromal pain (p

Özet

Giriş: Herpes Zoster, varisella zoster virüsün reaktivasyonuyla ortaya çıkan bir deri hastalığıdır. Bizim amacımız, geriatrik hastalarda herpes zosterin insidansını, klinik seyrini ve komplikasyonlarını incelemekti. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bir yıl içerisinde dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuran herpes zoster tanılı geriatrik hastalar çalışmaya alındı. Dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuran geriatrik hastalar içerisinde herpes zosterli olguların insidansı hesaplandı. Ayrıca yaş, cinsiyet, prodromal ağrı varlığı ve süresi, potansiyel tetikleyici faktör ve komplikasyonlar kaydedildi. Ağrı şiddeti Görsel Analog Skala ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Bir yıl süresince dermatoloji polikliniğine 3386 geriatrik hasta başvurdu. Bu hastaların 53'ü (%1.56) herpes zoster tanısı aldı. En yüksek herpes zoster yüzdesi (%3.31) Temmuz ayında saptanırken, en düşük yüzde (0.40%) Ekim ayında saptandı. Yirmi sekiz hastada (%52.8) prodromal ağrı saptandı. Hastaların ortalama Görsel Analog Skala skoru 5.98±2.71 idi. 41 hastada (%77.4) tetikleyici faktör mevcuttu. Herpes zostere bağlı komplikasyon yedi hastada (%13.2) gelişti. Prodromal ağrısı olan hastaların Görsel Analog Skala skorları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksek tespit edildi (p
