[Herpes zoster as cause of an epidemic spread of varicella and zoster in a children's hospital].

During infancy zoster is not so rare as generally stated. In this age group the infection seems often to be unrecognised, because commonly it produces little or atypical body reactions. In children the infectivity of zoster is more serious than in adults, but in the absence of antibodies, varicella develops. Therefore zoster has been considered as an immunologically modified form of varicella. In my own experience, one case of zoster caused epidemics of varicella and zoster in a paediatric hospital. The pathogenesis and epidemiology of the two diseases have been discussed.

Enhanced detection of Mpox using federated learning with hybrid ResNet-ViT and adaptive attention mechanisms.

Monkeypox (Mpox), caused by the monkeypox virus, has become a global concern due to its rising cases and resemblance to other rash-causing diseases like chickenpox and measles. Traditional diagnostic methods, including visual examination and PCR tests, face limitations such as misdiagnoses, high costs, and unavailability in resource-limited areas. Existing deep learning-based approaches, while effective, often rely on centralized datasets, raising privacy concerns and scalability issues. To address these challenges, this study proposes ResViT-FLBoost model, a federated learning-based framework…

Humoral Cytokine Levels in Patients with Herpes Zoster: A Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND: The neurocutaneous disease caused by the reactivation of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is called herpes zoster (HZ). The virus remains in the spinal cord back root after the chickenpox disappears. Diminished immune function can reactivate VZV, causing severe neuropathic pain that can last for months or even years, leading to postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), which severely affects the patient's quality of life. Much literature compares various cytokine levels in the body fluids HZ and PHN patients; however, no studies comprehensively evaluate them. METHODS: The Cochrane Library, PubMed…

Infectious diseases in Poland in 2021.

OBJECTIVE OF THE WORK. As 2021 was the second year of COVID-19 pandemic we expect the continuous impact of the pandemic on other infectious … was lower than in 2020 for: pertussis (-75.7%), measles (-54.9%), rubella (48.7%), mumps (-16.4%), chickenpox (-19.0%) or H. influenzea invasive disease (-33.0%). A notable exception to these trends was Clostridium difficile intestinal infections incidence, which was higher by 88.2% from the 2015-2019 median with 21,157 case and 1,120 fatalities reported in …

Seropositivity, Risks, and Morbidity From Varicella-Zoster Virus Infections in an Adult PWH Cohort From 2000-2020.

BACKGROUND: Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection disproportionately affects people with HIV (PWH), primarily presenting as herpes zoster. … he total measured cost of VZV illness was CDN$1 258 718. CONCLUSIONS: Despite ART and vaccines for chickenpox and shingles, VZV still caused significant costs and morbidity for PWH, occurring at younger ages and often as encephalitis/meningitis. Supporting ART adherence may reduce VZV illness and hospitalization costs in PWH, and the cost-effectiveness of e …

It was based on survey information on chickenpox, measles, mumps, rubella, herpes simplex, pertussis, scarlet fever, hay fever, asthma, eczema, urticaria, drug allergy, interparental violence, parental maltreatment, and trauma in early childhood. Subsequently, we examined how immune-mediated class …

A novel DNase like compound that inhibits virus propagation from Asian Green Mussel, Perna viridis (Linn.).

Viral diseases are not only responsible for health related issues but also exert pressure on the State economy. Tropical and subtropical countries have more prevalence of virus associated pathological conditions such as chickenpox, adenovirus related infections, dengue, chickengunya, infectious mononucleosis, etc. Treatment options with effective antiviral drugs are limited and are unfortunately not free from undesirable effects. The Asian Green Mussel, Perna viridis (Linn.) (Mytilidae) are not only important for their evolutionary significance, high caloric index, ecological role in the seque…

Результат пневмонита варицеллы у недееспособных взрослых, нуждающихся в лечении в группе с высокой степенью зависимости.

ЦЕЛИ: Инфекция варицелла растет у взрослых, где основным осложнением является первичный пневмонит. Имеется мало информации о лечении тех пациентов, которым требуется помещение в отделение для лиц с высокой степенью зависимости (ОВД). Было проведено исследование с целью изучения факторов риска для развития варицелла пневмонит (ВП), документирования динамики заболеваний и оценки прогнозов для пациентов с VP, нуждающихся в госпитализации в HDU. МЕТОДЫ: 10-летний ретроспективный обзор пациентов, принятых в Региональный отдел по инфекционным заболеваниям (HDU). Варицелла пневмонит (VP) была определ

Severe pneumonitis was defined as an hypoxaemia index (pO2 in mmHG/FiO2) of less than 150 at any time during hospital stay. All patients were treated with intravenous acyclovir at a dose of 10 mg/kg. RESULTS: A total of 33 patients were admit …

Characterization of herpes zoster cases and epidemiological trends in the Community of Madrid before and after the vaccine introduction in older adults: 2016-2025.

INTRODUCTION: The Community of Madrid (CM) introduced chickenpox vaccination during childhood in 2006 and herpes zoster (HZ) vaccination for those over 65 years-old (y/o) in 2022, with progressive incorporation of age groups. This study aims to describe HZ cases and epidemiological trends between 2016 and 2025. METHODS: Observational population-based study using primary care morbidity records and hospital Minimum Basic Data Set. Sociodemographic characteristics and comorbidities of the cases were described. Annual cumulative incidence (Cuml) was estimated for episodes and hospitalizations by …

In our BKMR analysis, we found a significant association …

Global, regional, and national burden of varicella-zoster infections in adults aged 70 years and older from 1997 to 2021: Findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study.

BACKGROUND: Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection gives rise to varicella (chickenpox) and herpes zoster (HZ, shingles). Primary VZV infection results in varicella, while HZ occurs as a consequence of latent VZV reactivation. Older adults are at a significantly elevated risk of HZ because of age-related immune senescence. This study was designed to evaluate the global burden and trends of VZV-related diseases (VHZ: varicella and HZ) among adults aged ≥70 years from 1997 to 2021 and to explore the influencing factors. In this specific age group, VHZ predominantly refers to HZ. METHODS: Data f…
