AUMENTO DE LA GRAVEDAD, PERO NO CLARAMENTE DE LA FRECUENCIA, DE INFECCIONES POR VIRUS HERPES ZOSTER EN PACIENTES CON ANTI-TNF

La tasa de infecciones o reinfecciones por el virus varicela zóster en los pacientes tratados con anti-TNF puede o no estar aumentada claramente, pero la gravedad de las infecciones puede incrementarse; sin embargo, el número total de casos es bajo para justificar una vacuna que no tiene una cobertura perfecta fuera de los calendarios de vacunación.
