Association of Chronic Diseases With Herpes Zoster in China: A Nationwide Population‐Based Survey
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.

Trends in hospitalizations for vaccine‐preventable diseases in the United States from 2014 to 2024
Abstract Background and Objectives Vaccination rates have declined in recent years, resulting in outbreaks of vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPDs) among children. We aimed to evaluate VPD hospitalization rates from 2014 to 2024 and to report associated trends in outcomes including intensive care utilization, mortality, readmissions, and costs.
