Prednisone May Contribute To Herpes Zoster Risk In Patients With RA.
Nancy Walsh writing in MedPage Today reported that research suggests that individuals “with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have an elevated risk for herpes zoster, particularly with increasing age, but the only immunomodulating medication that contributes to the risk is prednisone.”
The findings were published in Arthritis Care and Research.

Comment: Interesting finding.
