Greetings:
I'm curious as to why Herpes infections (such as Zoster) are more severe
in adults than in children. Any thoughts? I'm curious as to what
differences there may be in adult vs. "pediatric" immune systems. I've
not found anything of use in the classical med -micro texts (under
virology).
Many thanks in advance.
David
