dc.description.abstractIntroduction: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of children followed up with the diagnosis of herpes zoster, together with the data of our country. Materials and Methods: Patients who were followed up with the diagnosis of Herpes Zoster in the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Clinic of Kayseri Training and Research Hospital between 2016-18 were analysed retrospectively. Results: Twenty (69%) of 29 patients included in the study were female. The mean age of the patients, whose ages ranged from 2 to 16 years, was 8.86 +/- 0.6 years. Twenty (69%) of the patients had varicella infection and 6 (20.7%) had a history of single-dose varicella vaccination. The mean age of those who had varicella vaccine was 4.33 +/- 0.5, and those who had the varicella infection were 9.9 +/- 0.6 years. Four of the patients (13.8%) presented with only rash. Along with the rash, 25 patients (85.8%) had pruritus and 14 (48.3%) described pain. Thoracic dermatomes were most frequently involved with 69%, followed by cervical (17.3%), lumbar (10.3%) and trigeminal (3.4%) dermatomes, respectively. The patients had no known chronic disease, immunodeficiency (primary or secondary) or history of surgical intervention. Conclusion: This study, emphasizes that varicella vaccination can change the epidemiology of HZ in healthy children, causing it to be seen at an earlier age, and emphasizes the importance of two-dose vaccination.
