Background
Herpes zoster infection and stroke are highly prevalent in the general population; however, reports have presented inconsistent findings regarding the relationship between herpes zoster infection and stroke.In this meta-analysis, we aimed to clarify this association.Material and methods
The PubMed and Embase databases were searched for studies published from their inception to January 2016.Two investigators independently extracted the data.The pooled relative risk (RR) was calculated using a random effects model.
Results
A total of 8 studies met the inclusion criteria.During the first 1 month after herpes zoster infection, the pooled RRs for ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke were 1.55 (95% CI, 1.46-1.
65) and 1.70 (95% CI, 0.73-3.
96), respectively, and within 3 months after infection, the corresponding RRs were 1.17 (95% CI, 1.
