Herpes zoster (HZ) is a painful rash which typically affects older adults. This is of concern in Asia-Pacific given its aging population. As HZ epidemiology and burden are evolving, this systematic literature review aimed to update the current understanding of HZ burden and associated costs for selected Asia-Pacific locales. MEDLINE and Embase were searched for English articles of HZ studies conducted in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan. Eligible outcomes included HZ incidence and prevalence, occurrence of HZ-related complications, healthcare resource utilization, costs, and HZ-associated quality of life outcomes. This paper focused on HZ data in the general adult population ( N = 90 articles). Substantial HZ-related disease and economic burden were observed in these locales, consistent with global trends. These findings reinforce the increasing burden of HZ and need for preventive strategies, which may include raising awareness and encouraging timely vaccination.

Background: Herpes Zoster (HZ) is a reactivation of the Varicella Zoster Virus (VVZ), which is characterized by an acute unilateral vesicular eruption grouped with radicular pain around the dermatome. The incidence of HZ increases with age and is rare in children. The prevalence of HZ in children can occur if they have a history of primary intrauterine infection, are immunocompromised, and are infected with varicella in the first year of life. Methods: The research design used a case study on one of the patients at the PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital Surakarta Polyclinic. The instruments include informed consent and demographic data questionnaires. Results: Ms B, 15 years old, came to the Skin and Venereology Clinic, PKU Muhammadiyah Surakarta Hospital on December 28, 2022 with complaints of itching and heat, a lesion in the form of multiple clustered vesicles, round in shape, with a size of 0.3- 0.5 cm above the skin, erythematous, unilateral, not crossing the midline, the age of the cysts in one group is the same. Still, with other groups, it is not the same; the skin between groups is normal. Treatment was given acyclovir 4x800 mg per day taken orally for five days, triamcinolone 4 mg/day, compressed NaCl 15 minutes 2x daily, calamine lotion 2x daily on intact lesions and mupirocin calcium on open wounds. Conclusion: Maintaining the body's immune system and managing stress, as well as getting the varicella vaccine/measles vaccine, can prevent the occurrence of shingles
