[Epidemiology of herpes zoster. The herpes zoster patient as a source of infection with chickenpox].
The authors analyse the inpatient findings accumulated from 2,179 observations on herpes zoster cases for 10 years. The clinico-epidemiological characterization of herpes zoster patients as the potential source of chickenpox infection is presented. The clinical data speak for the droplet transfer of the agent (varicella zoster virus) in this infection, which has permitted the formulation of exact practical recommendations of quarantine and isolation measures in the focus of herpes zoster.
