Among 300 patients receiving TNF-α antagonists for chronic inflammatory joint disease, 9 cases of HZ (3%, 6 women and 3 men, RA n = 7 and spondylarthritis n = 2) were identified [5].…”

“…In addition, increased severity and duration of herpes zoster (HZ) infections has been reported [8,16,17,18,19], as well as extensive cutaneous [20,21,22] and systemic VZV infections including interstitial pneumonitis [17] and encephalitis [23].

“…Therapy for HZ is warranted to accelerate healing, diminish the duration of acute and chronic pain, and reduce the risk of PHN. Additionally, in immunocompromised patients, antiviral therapy for HZ is needed to limit the risk of dissemination of VZV (1,68). Acyclovir (ACV), valacyclovir (an oral prodrug of ACV), and famciclovir (an oral prodrug of penciclovir [PCV]) are approved for the treatment of VZV infections.…”
