Abstract
This investigation was part of a study based in general practice in London of the determinants of zoster in adults without underlying immunosuppression. Elsewhere, we describe recruitment and definitions of cases (patients with incident zoster) and controls (patients with no previous zoster, individually matched to cases by age, sex, and general practice) elsewhere.5 Participants gave informed consent.Keywords
