Abstrakt		Background. Herpes zoster results from reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus, which has the ability to establish a lifelong infection in human sensory ganglia. The attack rate of herpes zoster is 10-20%. The incidence increases with age. Only few studies have been conducted on herpes zoster in children. Methods and results. In our study,data from 86 notified cases of herpes zoster aged less than 15 years were collected who were not hospitalised. Zoster cases were distributed over the whole year. 64 (74.4%) children had herpes zoster localised in thoracic region, ten (11.6%) in cervical and 10 (11.6%) in lumbosacral region. There were only two cases with cranial herpes zoster. No complications were observed. The majority of zoster cases were without serious underlying illness compromising their immune system.
Izvleček		Izhodišča. Pasavec je posledica reaktivacije latentnega varičela-zoster virusa, ki ostane v senzornih ganglijah po primarni okužbi prisoten vse življenje. Pasavec se manifestira pri 10-20% populacije. Incidenca bolezni narašča s starostjo. O poteku pasavca pri otrocih je objavljenih malo študij. Metode in rezultati. Zbrali smo podatke o 86 prijavljenih primerih pasavca pri osebah, mlajših od 15 let, ki se niso zdravili v bolnišnici. Pasavec se je pojavljal skozi celo leto. Pri 64 (74,4%) je bil lokaliziran v prsnem predelu, pri desetih (11,6%) v cervikalnem in 10 (11,6%) v lumbosakralnem predelu. Kranialni pasavec sta imela le dva otroka. Pri nobenem otroku ni bilo zapletov. Večina opisanih otrok ni imela resne kronične bolezni, ki bi oslabila imunski sistem. Zaključek. Potek pasavca otroške dobe pri prijavljenih primerih je bil lahek in brez zapletov.
