| Core Tip |
This ambispective epidemiological study shows an 18-year exploration of Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection dynamics in Bulgaria's Plovdiv region. With varicella (chickenpox) and herpes zoster (shingles) as VZV outcomes, our findings expose a noteworthy average incidence of 449.58 per 100000 from 2000 to 2018. Notably, January peaked at 13.6%, while August and September hospitalizations share was the lowest at 2.9%. The age groups most impacted, 1-4 and 5-9 years, align with the 'population pro-epidemis' concept. These outcomes demonstrated crucial insights into VZV epidemiology, guiding evidence-based preventive measures and contributing significantly to public health planning. |
