据说带状疱疹在儿童中发生的频率低于老年人。然而，有人认为，这种疾病在儿童中发生的频率比人们普遍认识的要高得多，但由于儿童带状疱疹的病程相对良性，因此病例并未引起医生的注意。 1 带状疱疹被认为是由水痘带状疱疹 (VZ) 病毒激活引起的，该病毒是在以前的水痘发作期间获得的。因此，人们可能会发现儿童带状疱疹的发病率低于成人，因为没有患过水痘的儿童不会有感染带状疱疹的风险。成人研究表明，感染带状疱疹的风险随着年龄的增长而增加。2-4由于大多数人在儿童时期感染过水痘，因此，随着水痘发病时间间隔的增加，感染带状疱疹的风险也会增加。许多
ZOSTER is said to occur less frequently in children than in older individuals. It has been suggested, however, that the disease occurs far more frequently in children than is generally realized, but because of the relatively benign course of childhood zoster, cases do not come to the attention of the physician.1 Zoster is believed to be caused by activation of varicella zoster (VZ) virus which had been acquired during a previous attack of chickenpox. One might expect, therefore, to find a lower rate of zoster in children than in adults, since children who have not had chickenpox would not run the risk of getting zoster. Studies in adults indicate that the risk of contracting zoster increases with advancing age.2-4Since most individuals get chickenpox in childhood, it would appear, therefore, that the risk of getting zoster increases as the interval of time since onset of chickenpox increases.
