Gianotti-Crosti syndrome (papular acrodermatitis of childhood) in the era of a viral recrudescence and vaccine opposition.
CONCLUSIONS: Gianotti-Crosti syndrome is mainly a disease of early childhood, characterized by an acute onset of a papular or papulovesicular eruption with a symmetrical distribution. With the advent of more universal vaccination against hepatitis B virus, Epstein-Barr virus has become the most common etiologic agent of Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. Few cases of post-vaccination Gianotti-Crosti syndrome have been reported. Currently, the emphasis should be placed on its self-limiting attribution.

Adult Vaccination as a Protective Factor for Dementia: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review of Population-Based Observational Studies
CONCLUSION: Routine adult vaccinations are associated with a significant reduction in dementia risk and may be an effective strategy for dementia prevention. Further research is needed to elucidate the causal effects of this association and the underlying mechanisms.PMID:35592323 | PMC:PMC9110786 | DOI:10.3389/fimmu.2022.872542

Prevalence of hepatitis B infection in the Gambian population: A narrative review of recent developments
This study reviewed the recent trends in the epidemiological characteristics of HBV in the Gambia. The researchers conducted an online literature search for primary studies on HBV prevalence published in the past two decades from Jan 1992 to Feb 2022 inclusive on Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus. All retrieved studies were assessed for eligibility according to specific inclusion/exclusion criteria, data completeness, and methodological coherence. We found that HBV infection prevalence is above 8% in The Gambia. Moreover, HBV is the most common cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Gambia. Liver cirrhosis and HCC hav...

Fetal and Neonatal Health Consequences of Vertically Transmitted Hepatitis E Virus Infection.
Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infections lead to tens of thousands of deaths annually, mostly in developing countries. Hepatitis E poses a significant threat to the health of expectant mothers, a well-noted epidemiologic feature of the disease, but the contribution of vertically transmitted HEV infection to fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality has received limited attention. Evidence assembled to date suggests that mother-to-child HEV transmission may be frequent and deleterious to the fetus and newborn in pregnancies affected by hepatitis E. Additional work is required to resolve key questions. (1) What ...

Hepatitis B virus infection in pregnant women and transmission to newborns
Publication date: June 2015 Source:Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease, Volume 5, Issue 6 Author(s): Khan Salman , Rashmi , Singh Priti , Madan Molly , Virmani Sunil Kumar , Siddiqui Zeenat Chronic hepatitis B affects over 350 million people worldwide. India represents the second largest pool of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in the world with an estimated 40 million infected people. Vertical transmission is known to be the leading cause of infection and perinatal infection is associated with a very high rate of chronicity (up to 90%). Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positivity indicates that replicative f...

Chronic hepatitis B infection in pregnancy.
Authors: Lamberth JR, Reddy SC, Pan JJ, Dasher KJ Abstract There are no standard guidelines to follow when a patient with chronic hepatitis B infection becomes pregnant or desires pregnancy. Topics to consider include which patients to treat, when to start treatment, what treatment to use and when to stop treatment. Without any prophylaxis or antiviral therapy, a hepatitis B surface antigen and E antigen positive mother has up to a 90% likelihood of vertical transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) to child. Standard of care in the United States to prevent perinatal transmission consists of administration of hepatit...

Hepatitis B and pregnancy. Part 2. Nine practical issues about delivery and neonatal care.
Abstract In France, the hepatitis B maternal-fetal transmission prevention strategy is based on serovaccination at birth. Serum therapy is to inject 30IU/kg of anti-HBs specific immunoglobulins of human origin in the first hours of life, which in practice corresponds to 1ml or 100IU. Vaccination should also be performed during the first hours of life, and a new injection should be performed at 1month and 6months. In infants less than 32weeks and/or less than 2kg, lower vaccine response leads to prescribe an additional injection at 2months. This serovaccination reduces the risk of mother to child transmission from ...

Hepatitis B During Pregnancy in Endemic Areas: Screening, Treatment, and Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission
AbstractThe proper management of pregnant women infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is necessary to prevent maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality and to protect the baby from HBV infection. In the majority of cases, vertical transmission can be prevented with a universal screening program, HBV vaccine immunoprophylaxis, and administration of hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIg) for babies born to mothers with HBV. However, in mothers with a high viral load (>200,000 or>1,000,000  IU/ml, depending on the guideline), the chance of immunoprophylaxis failure remains high. The standard recommendation is to give an an...

Management of Chronic Hepatitis B in Pregnancy
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection due to mother-to-child transmission during the perinatal period remains an important global health problem. Despite standard passive-active immunoprophylaxis with hepatitis B immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccine in neonates, up to 8.5% of newborns still acquire HBV infection. Thus, management of chronic HBV during pregnancy and strategies to prevent mother-to-child transmission are important steps in eradicating or reducing the global burden of chronic HBV infection. To date, the management of HBV infection in pregnancy still needs careful attention because of some controversial ...

The innovation of the subspecialty of Paediatric Virology: An interview with Research Professor of Molecular Virology Anna Kramvis.
Authors: Mammas IN, Spandidos DA Abstract Professor Anna Kramvis, Research Professor of Molecular Virology at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, talks about direct-acting antiviral treatments against hepatitis C virus (HCV), as well as the perspective of the development of an effective vaccine against HCV. She emphasises the necessity of vaccination against hepatitis B virus (HBV), highlighting that it is very important that vaccination should be administered at birth in order to prevent mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HBV. Professor Kramvis states that vaccination against HBV...

Effects of breast milk on pain severity during muscular injection of hepatitis B vaccine in neonates in a teaching hospital in Iran.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study showed that breastfeeding decreases pain severity during painful experiences in neonates, which is in accordance with other reports. Based on this finding, neonates are advised to be breastfed if a painful intervention such as vaccination is needed. The pain-relieving effect of breast milk could also be added to its other suitable effects. PMID: 30041885 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
