Herpes zoster incidence and cost in patients receiving autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplant.

CONCLUSIONS: HZ incidence was high despite AP use. Mean annual health care costs were higher for patients with HZ but the difference was not statistically significant. An effective vaccine against HZ could be useful in decreasing both incidence of and cost for HZ in this population. PMID: 28945107 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
