Résumé

Asthma is a common respiratory disease, which may be associated with an increased risk of herpes zoster (HZ), often a debilitating disease associated with severe pain. This was the first systematic review with the objective of summarizing evidence on HZ burden in adults with asthma. A global systematic literature review (SLR) and meta-analysis was conducted (Medline and Embase, 2003-2024), on HZ burden (incidence, risk, complications) in adults (≥18 years) with asthma. There were 19 studies included on HZ outcomes in adults with asthma. Pooled HZ incidence per 1000 person-years was 5.71 (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.68-6.96) in ≥18-year-olds (4.20 [3.09-5.70] in <60-year-olds This SLR and meta-analysis found that adults with asthma have an increased risk of HZ, with higher risks in older age groups, and in those on certain treatments, such as oral corticosteroids. HZ vaccines are available for adults, including those with comorbidities such as asthma, and can be considered as part of integrated respiratory care.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Asthma is a common respiratory disease, which may be associated with an increased risk of herpes zoster (HZ), often a debilitating disease associated with severe pain. This was the first systematic review with the objective of summarizing evidence on HZ burden in adults with asthma.
METHODS METHODS
A global systematic literature review (SLR) and meta-analysis was conducted (Medline and Embase, 2003-2024), on HZ burden (incidence, risk, complications) in adults (≥18 years) with asthma.
RESULTS RESULTS
There were 19 studies included on HZ outcomes in adults with asthma. Pooled HZ incidence per 1000 person-years was 5.71 (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.68-6.96) in ≥18-year-olds (4.20 [3.09-5.70] in <60-year-olds
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
This SLR and meta-analysis found that adults with asthma have an increased risk of HZ, with higher risks in older age groups, and in those on certain treatments, such as oral corticosteroids. HZ vaccines are available for adults, including those with comorbidities such as asthma, and can be considered as part of integrated respiratory care.
