Abstract
This study examined the incidence of the main herpesvirus infections (HVI) in the Irkutsk region for 2014-2024 with the results of monitoring for shingles since 2019. In the structure of HVI, the largest share is occupied by chickenpox (88.8%) and the smallest is cytomegalovirus infection with a share of less than one percent (0.4%). The dynamics of HVI incidence rates is unstable, with some upward trend in recent years. Children predominate among those affected, excluding shingles. Risk groups among the child population for the studied HVIs have been identified, which indicates the importance of preventive measures and monitoring of morbidity, primarily for these population groups. According to the forecast, the incidence of chickenpox (CP) and cytomegalovirus infection is expected to increase, therefore the importance of educational work to inform parents about the risks and symptoms of HCV, the role of vaccination in the fight against CP increases. Effective management and prevention of these infections can significantly reduce infectious diseases and improve the overall health of the region's population.
