Incidence of herpes zoster in patients with altered immune function.

A decreasing trend of incidence rate was observed among patients with HIV ( P < 0.01), from 17.8 to 16.0/1,000 PY among those aged <65 years to 10.70/1,000 PY (95 % CI 6.62–16.35) in those aged 65+ years.

Although our study population might not be directly comparable to those of previous studies due to differences in data sources and patient profiles (e.g., age and gender), the higher incidence of HZ (4.82/1,000 PY) observed in our study is consistent with an increasing trend of HZ incidence over time [ 8 – 13 ].
