Immune Correlates of Herpes Zoster in People Living with HIV on Effective Antiretroviral Therapy.

Conclusions Increased circulating Treg and decreased VZV-specific T cell immune responses were associated with the risk of HZ in PLHIV. The kinetics of Treg over time, but not of VZV-CTL, paralleled the natural history of HZ, whose incidence decreases over time on effective ART. PMID: 31179712 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
