Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the pathogen SARS-CoV-2, was declared a pandemic in March 2020. Recently, studies have discussed reports of patients infected with COVID-19 associated with vesicular manifestations of Herpes Zoster. The objective of this study was to compare the data from the Unified Health System (SUS) on the number of diagnoses of Herpes Zoster from March to August from 2017 to 2019, with the same period in 2020, in the five Brazilian regions (North, Northeast, Southeast, South, and Midwest). The data were extracted from the public database (DATASUS) of Brazil's Ministry of Health. The data showed an increase in the number of Herpes Zoster diagnoses over the years and the negative impact from the COVID-19 disease, revealing an average increase corresponding to an extra 10.7 cases per million inhabitants during the pandemic in all Brazilian Regions. Therefore, although the association between HZ and COVID-19 is not well established, we observed in this study an increase in HZ cases during the COVID -19 pandemic, which suggests a correlation between these diseases.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19），由病原体 SARS-CoV-2 引起，于 2020 年 3 月宣布为大流行。最近，有研究讨论了与带状疱疹水疱表现相关的 COVID-19 感染患者的报告。本研究的目的是比较 2017 年至 2019 年和 2020 年同期，巴西五个地区（北部、东北部、东南部、南部和中西部）从 3 月到 8 月的带状疱疹统一医疗系统（SUS）诊断数据。数据取自巴西卫生部的公共数据库（DATASUS）。数据显示，带状疱疹的诊断数量逐年增加，并且 COVID-19 疾病产生了负面影响，表明在大流行期间，所有巴西地区的诊断数量平均增加了 10.7 例/百万人。因此，尽管 HZ 和 COVID-19 之间的关联尚未得到很好的证实，但我们在这项研究中观察到 COVID-19 大流行期间 HZ 病例的增加，这表明这两种疾病之间存在相关性。
