Statistics by Country for Ocular Herpes
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Ocular Herpes:
These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates
against the populations of a particular country or region.
The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Ocular Herpes are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian statistics.
This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences
across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated Ocular Herpes statistics below refer to.
As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication)
as to the actual prevalence or incidence of Ocular Herpes in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Ocular Herpes: The word 'prevalence' of Ocular Herpes usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Ocular Herpes at any given time (i.e. people with Ocular Herpes). The term 'incidence' of Ocular Herpes means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Ocular Herpes diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Ocular Herpes). Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics. |

Prevalance Rate for Ocular Herpes: approx 1 in 679 or 0.15% or 400,000 people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Ocular Herpes to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Ocular Herpes to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these prevalence extrapolations for Ocular Herpes are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual prevalence of Ocular Herpes in any region:
