Inactivated COVID-19 vaccine-related herpes zoster and post-herpetic neuralgia: Three case reports
In this report, we describe three cases of HZ, one of them with post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) after receiving inactivated COVID-19 vaccine. The first two patients developed HZ 8 and 10 days after vaccination, respectively. When pain could not be controlled with paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, the patients received weak opioid codeine. In addition, the first patient received gabapentin, and the second patient was applied erector spinae plane block. The third patient was admitted 4 months after the diagnosis of HZ and considered to have PHN and pain palliation was provided with tramadol. Although the exact...

Ramsay Hunt Syndrome: An Introduction, Signs and Symptoms, and Treatment
This article discusses the etiology, epidemiology, and pathology of Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Clinically it may be presented as a vesicular rash on the ear or even in the mouth, pain in the ear, and facial paralysis. Some other rare symptoms may also be present, which are also discussed in this article. Skin involvement is also seen in some cases as patterns due to anastomoses between cervical and cranial nerves. This article provides an overview of how the varicella-zoster virus causes facial paralysis and other neurological symptoms. Knowing about this condition and its clinical features is essential to make an early diagnos...

Herpes Zoster Following COVID-19 Vaccine Booster
CONCLUSIONS COVID-19 vaccination remains an important measure to prevent transmission of infection and to reduce the mortality and morbidity caused by it. However, healthcare practitioners should be aware of the possible association between COVID-19 vaccination and herpes zoster. Appropriate explanation and safety advice on the possible adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination, including herpes zoster infection, should be given to patients. This will facilitate early recognition and treatment of this condition.PMID:36650730 | DOI:10.12659/AJCR.938667

Prevention of Herpes Zoster: A Focus on the Effectiveness and Safety of Herpes Zoster Vaccines
Viruses. 2022 Nov 29;14(12):2667. doi: 10.3390/v14122667.ABSTRACTInfection with varicella zoster virus typically occurs in children and it can cause primary varicella infection or "chickenpox", or it can reactivate later in life and cause herpes zoster or "shingles". Herpes zoster mainly occurs in older adults, causing a reduction in activities of daily living, impacting quality of life, and may lead to serious complications, including chronic pain. Two vaccines are marketed to prevent herpes zoster: the live zoster vaccine and the non-live, recombinant zoster vaccine. The pre-licensure clinical trials show the efficacy of...

Zoster sine herpete
A previous patient came in with a new problem of severe right neck pain that wrapped around to the shoulder, about in a C4 distribution. Nothing on her C spine MRI to explain it, and her skin was hypersensitive to touch. Denied history of rash in the area but did have shingles several years ago on her face. Topicals weren’t helping and she got side effects with oral antineuropathics. She hadn’t had her shingles vaccine, so I told her to go ahead and get it, and that maybe it would help... Read more

EE396 Public Health Impact and Cost-Effectiveness of Herpes Zoster Vaccination for Older Adults in the Netherlands
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox in children, and subsequently establishes a latent infection in dorsal root ganglia in the spinal cord. Decades later, it may reactivate, causing herpes zoster (HZ), a painful dermatomal skin rash ( “shingles”), in adults and especially in older individuals. Reactivation of latent VZV is mostly due to immunosenescence, i.e., an age-related functional decline of the immune system. A potential complication linked to HZ is postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), characterised by neuropathic pain which c an last for months or years.

EE265 Health, Productivity and Budget Impact of Vaccinating 50-64 Year Old Employees in Austria Against Herpes Zoster With Recombinant Zoster Vaccine
Herpes zoster (HZ) is caused by reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus. Age-related immunity decline is the main risk factor for the disease. HZ can lead to debilitating chronic pain (postherpetic neuralgia, PHN) and other complications, impacting work productivity. We assessed the public health and budget impact of vaccination with recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) to Austrian healthcare payers and to employers, respectively.
