Complications and cost estimations in herpes zoster - a retrospective analysis at a Swiss tertiary dermatology clinic
CONCLUSION: In this herpes zoster population at a university hospital, one in three patients was affected by herpes zoster-related complications. Age and cancer were independently associated with a high complication rate, suggesting a need to vaccinate cancer patients. Herpes zoster-related complications and the need for inpatient treatment escalated the costs per case.PMID:34964592 | DOI:10.4414/smw.2021.w30081
