The next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the production and decayrate of a Higgs boson are computed within the framework of the MinimalSupersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The calculation is based on an effectivetheory for light and intermediate mass Higgs bosons. We provide a Fortranroutine for the numerical evaluation of the coefficient function. For most ofthe MSSM parameter space, the relative size of the NLO corrections is typicallyof the order of 5% smaller than the Standard Model value. We exemplify thenumerical results for two scenarios: the benchmark point SPS1a, and a parameterregion where the gluon-Higgs coupling at leading order is very small due to acancellation of the squark and quark contributions.Comment: 27 pages, LaTeX, 31 embedded PostScript-files; v2: typos corrected, reformatted in JHEP style; accepted for publication in JHE
