“…55 Lin et al reported a 2.2-fold increase in the mean unadjusted costs per HZ hospitalization from 1986 ($7159) to 1995 ($15 583), despite a reduction in the mean length of hospital stay. In Asia, a similar trend was reported by Lin et al, 40 who performed a retrospective, database-based study in Taiwan from 2000 to 2005 and found an increase in HZ hospitalization costs from 250 million New Taiwanese dollars (7.7 million US dollars) in 2000 to 319 million New Taiwanese dollars (9.8 million US dollars) in 2004. After adjusting for inflation, they calculated a 1.22-fold increase, which was particularly marked among the elderly.…”

“…In the general population, the estimated lifetime risk for development of HZ is approximately 30%, and the risk can reach up to 50% in patients age 85. [41][42][43] With respect to the reference rates published by Lin et al, 43 the calculated standardized incidence ratio for our patients was 82.2 (95% CI, 35.7-128.8). The high prevalence (71%) of HZ in our patients suggests that IFN-␥ might play an important or even critical role in controlling the reactivation of latent VZV infection.…”

“…Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nde herpes zoster yıllık insidansının 3,2-3.8/1000 arasında olduğu, hastaların çoğunluğunu 60 yaşın üzerinde veya immunsüpresif bireylerin oluşturduğu bildirilmiştir [5][6][7] . Fransa'da Czernichow ve ark.…”

“…Tayvan halkında yapılan 5 yıllık bir çalışmada hospitalizasyon oranınının %2,93 olduğu bildirilmiştir. Yine bir yaşından küçük infantlarda hospitalizasyon oranının bir yaşından büyük çocuklara göre daha fazla olduğunu, ancak bir yaşından sonra yaşla birlikte hastaneye yatış oranın arttığını bildirmişlerdir 7 . Bizim çalışmamızda hastaneye yatış oranı %3,8 olarak saptanmıştır.…”
