Journal of Korean Medical Science, 2022 There are several previous reports that infection or reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV) can occur after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Herein, we report a rare case of VZV meningitis in breakthrough COVID-19. An 18-years-old male visited the emergency room,

Lack of Association between Age at Varicella Vaccination and Risk of Breakthrough Varicella, within the Northern California Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2008 Varicella vaccine currently is recommended for children between 12 and 18 months of age. However, rates of breakthrough varicella have been reported to be higher among children vaccinated before 14 or 15 months of age and to increase with time since vaccination.An ongoing study at the Northern California Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program is ...

Infection control in the brain and the eye
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2022 Abstract Background In the era of universal varicella vaccination, diagnosis of varicella is challenging, especially for breakthrough cases. We sought to clarify the reliability of direct varicella-zoster virus (VZV) loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and DermaQuick® VZV using the ...

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim Countries with varicella immunisation programmes have seen major reductions in disease burden. While two‐dose schedules are now universally adopted, dosing ages vary, and some countries initially include catch‐up vaccination of older children to speed impact. This modelling study assessed three two‐dose schedules in the Swedish setting (1)

Rationale for Recommending Varicella Vaccination Into the Swedish National Immunisation Programme
Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim Under Swedish law, a vaccination may be included in the National Immunisation Programme (NIP) if it effectively prevents transmission in the population, is cost‐effective and aligns with ethical and humanitarian principles. The Public Health Agency of Sweden (PHAS) evaluated these criteria for introducing varicella vaccination. Methods The

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim To assess the cost‐effectiveness of including varicella vaccination in the Swedish national vaccination programme for children together with the added impact of catch‐up vaccination of susceptible older children. Methods An epidemiological transmission model was used to assess the cost‐effectiveness of a two‐dose national varicella ...
