Herpes zoster as a clinical clue to undiagnosed HIV infection: Two case reports
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes herpes zoster upon reactivation, typically in older or immunocompromised individuals. In younger adults, herpes zoster should raise suspicion of underlying immunodeficiency, particularly undiagnosed human ...

Favipiravir (T‐705) and the non‐fluorinated counterpart (T‐1106) are antiviral agents that inhibit the RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of various RNA viruses. The antiviral efficacy of nucleoside analogues is strongly dependent on their intracellular activation by cellular kinases to produce their corresponding triphosphate metabolites (T‐705‐RTP ...

Necrodestructive herpes zoster
Herpes Zoster (HZ) is a self-limiting viral infection of skin and mucosa caused by Varicella zoster virus. Cutaneous lesions of HZ usually heal without any scarring and hyper/hypopigmentation. Though, post-inflammatory depigmentation and deep scarring can occur in immunocompromised or HIV positive individuals.

Anifrolumab Dose Regimen Selection for a Phase 3 Trial in Lupus Nephritis
In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), increased type I interferon signaling is associated with increased disease activity across organs, including in the kidney, which can cause lupus nephritis (LN). Anifrolumab, which abrogates type I interferon signaling, is an approved treatment for moderate to severe SLE.

Herpes zoster subunit vaccine for the prevention of herpes zoster
Published literature on the efficacy and safety of the herpes zoster (HZ) subunit vaccine (HZ/su vaccine) in reducing the risks of HZ and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) in adults 50 years of age and older, as well as the vaccine's properties and efficacy relative to live attenuated vaccine, is reviewed.HZ/su vaccine (Shingrix, GlaxoSmithKline) is a ...

Association of Chronic Diseases With Herpes Zoster in China: A Nationwide Population-Based Survey. [PDF]
Chronic disease was associated with elevated herpes zoster risk (aOR = 1.84, 95% CI: 1.51–2.24). Among 14 chronic conditions, heart disease showed the strongest association (aOR = 2.91, 95% CI: 2.07–4.10), followed by diabetes (aOR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.48–2.80) and hypertension (aOR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.47–2.42).

While several oncogenic pathogens cause site‐specific cancers, uncertainties remain about many other chronic infections and combined pathogen effects, especially in non‐Western populations. Using a large case–cohort study nested within the China Kadoorie Biobank, the authors found that co‐infection was common, with a mean of 10 pathogens per individual.
