Vaccines for preventing herpes zoster in older adults.
CONCLUSIONS: LZV and RZV are effective in preventing herpes zoster disease for up to three years (the main studies did not follow participants for more than three years). To date, there are no data to recommend revaccination after receiving the basic schedule for each type of vaccine. Both vaccines produce systemic and injection site adverse events of mild to moderate intensity. PMID: 31696946 [PubMed - in process]

Emergence of varicella-zoster virus resistance to acyclovir: epidemiology, prevention, and treatment
Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther. 2021 Apr 14. doi: 10.1080/14787210.2021.1917992. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Acyclovir has led to the development of successful systemic therapy for herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection, and the use of valacyclovir and famciclovir has improved treatment. Additionally, the use of a helicase-primase (HP) inhibitor (HPI), amenamevir, is changing the treatment of herpes zoster (HZ).AREA COVERED: VZV infection is prevented by vaccines and is treated with antiviral agents. Acyclovir and penciclovir are phosphorylated by viral thymidine kinase and work as cha...

Zoster sine herpete following BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in an immunocompetent patient
IDCases. 2022 Jul 13;29:e01563. doi: 10.1016/j.idcr.2022.e01563. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTAs a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, mRNA vaccination has become widespread. Recently, it has been suggested that instances of herpes zoster increase following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. Herein, we describe the first case of zoster sine herpete (ZSH) after mRNA vaccination for COVID-19. A 60-year-old Japanese immunocompetent man presented with fever, fatigue, headache, cervical pain, and lumbar pain, which developed after receiving a second dose of BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. Whereas most symptoms improved with symptomatic tr...

Seropositive Neuromyelitis Optica in a Case of Undiagnosed Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Neuro-Rheumatological Conundrum
In this study, a 35-year-old Indian man with an undiagnosed progressive axial spondyloarthropathy (i.e., AS) is reported presenting with acute-onset longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis, a clinical subset of NMOSD. Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), a primary demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system (CNS), is an autoimmune astrocytopathy against foot processes of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channels, which manifests with optic neuritis, longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM), area-postrema syndrome, brainstem syndrome diencephalic syndrome, and cerebral syndrome.1-4 Ankylosing spo...
