Decreased Immunity to Varicella Zoster Virus in Giant Cell Arteritis
IntroductionHerpes zoster, which can have a major impact on quality of life, results from reactivation of a latent varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection. We hypothesized that giant cell arteritis (GCA) patients are at increased risk of herpes zoster because of treatment with high-dose glucocorticoi...
