We are carrying a subgroup analysis for the VZV CNS disease through ID-IRI community acquired CNS infections database  (The burden and epidemiology of community-acquired central nervous system infections: a multinational study. Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis. 2017 Sep;36(9):1595-1611). We will hopefully distribute the results soon.
