Potential Misdiagnoses of Bell's Palsy in the Emergency Department
Conclusion: Emergency providers have a very low rate of misdiagnosing Bell's palsy. The association between imaging use and misdiagnosis is likely confounded by patient acuity. Increasing age and diabetes are modest risk factors for misdiagnosis.

An Erratic Exanthem: Postvaricella Guillain-Barre Syndrome With Facial Diplegia
Varicella zoster (Chickenpox) usually occurs in childhood due to infection with varicella zoster virus. It manifests as an acute febrile exanthem which is usually self-limiting. Varicella zoster virus infection, in most cases, provides lifelong immunity to an individual after primary infection. In adults, primary varicella is uncommon, and most cases occur as a result of reactivation of the dormant virus. Subsequently, in adults, varicella infection can behave erratically to present with various unusual systemic and neurological complications, which are again uncommonly seen after primary varicella. The most common neurolo...

Active Post-Licensure Safety Surveillance for Recombinant Zoster Vaccine Using Electronic Health Record Data
Am J Epidemiol. 2022 Oct 4:kwac170. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwac170. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) (Shingrix; GlaxoSmithKline, Brentford, United Kingdom) is an adjuvanted glycoprotein vaccine that was licensed in 2017 to prevent herpes zoster and its complications in older adults. In this prospective, post-licensure Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) study using electronic health records, we sequentially monitored a real-world population of adults aged 50 years and older who received care at multiple VSD health systems in the United States to identify potential increased risks of 10 pre-specified prior...

Viral diseases of the nervous system-Selected new and old viruses
Nervenarzt. 2023 Mar 21. doi: 10.1007/s00115-023-01452-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTViral diseases of the nervous system are ancient and poliomyelitis was described in Egypt as early as 2000 BC. They can cause a wide range of neurological symptoms, such as meningitis, encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, Guillain-Barré-like syndrome and stroke, often leaving mild to severe residuals. Depending on the pathogen, the symptoms appear quickly within hours, or lead to increasing chronic symptoms within 1 week or months. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which was newly identified in January 202...

A case with prolonged headache after COVID-19 vaccination and later developed Bell's palsy
CONCLUSION: Reactivation of latent herpes virus has been suggested as one of the possible mechanisms underlying the phenomenon, but the causal pathophysiology related to the symptom needs further validation. Moreover, in the event of facial palsy post-vaccination, alternative diagnoses such as Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), Ramsey-Hunt syndrome, Lyme disease, trauma, central nervous system infection (CNS) infection, or stroke should also be considered.PMID:37198509
