Abstract |
We evaluated the effect of highly active antiretroviral therapy ( HAART) on the incidence of herpes zoster (HZ) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected subjects. The annual incidence of HZ per 100 person-years decreased significantly from 6.3 episodes in 1987 to 1.0 episode in 2011, probably reflecting improved immune function.
