Clinico-Demographic Profiles of Herpes Zoster Cases in Patients With and Without COVID-19 Infection During the Pandemic: A Retrospective Analysis of 32 Cases
CONCLUSION: The present retrospective analysis of 32 cases indicates that persons who suffered from COVID-19 and presented with HZ were likely to have a higher chance of multi-dermatomal and disseminated involvement. While our analysis cannot establish a true association between COVID-19 infection and HZ reactivation, which will require a large-scale study, clinicians might get a clue of the possible progression of the extent of HZ manifestations from our findings.PMID:37425608 | PMC:PMC10325950 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.40063

Compliance with COVID-19 preventive measures is high among university-level students in Qu ébec, Canada
CONCLUSION: Most university-level students are compliant with COVID-19 preventive measures in a Québec university library: an encouraging behaviour from a public health perspective. These findings may support public health authorities or university administrators in decisions regarding different COVID-19 preventive measures directed to different universities settings, as this method can be applied to focused, rapid observational studies and can lead to data of sufficient statistical power.PMID:37416112 | PMC:PMC10322114 | DOI:10.14745/ccdr.v48i78a07

Multiregional Population-Based Cohort Study for Evaluation of the Association Between Herpes Zoster and mRNA Vaccinations for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2: The VENUS Study
CONCLUSIONS: No increased risk of HZ was found after BNT162b2 vaccination in the overall study population. However, an increased risk was observed in the younger subgroup.PMID:37404955 | PMC:PMC10316690 | DOI:10.1093/ofid/ofad274

Risk of COVID-19 Hospitalization in People Living with HIV and HIV-Negative Individuals and the Role of COVID-19 Vaccination: A Retrospective Cohort Study
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, which is caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2)[1] was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. To date, over 760 million infections have been recorded, which have resulted in over 6.8 million deaths[2]. Findings from epidemiologic studies suggest that older adults, individuals who belong to certain ethnic minority groups (often a proxy for social and structural factors such as poor access to healthcare and racism), those with existing comorbidities, individuals with substance use disorders, immunocompromised individuals such as tr...

Universal use of face mask for the prevention of the spread of COVID-19 in community settings in a South-western State of Nigeria: willingness and barriers
ConclusionOur findings suggest that willingness to wear a face mask influences compliance, and that having a post-secondary education and being older (> 40 years) were positive predictors of both willingness to wear a mask and compliance with universal mask policy (wearing it continuously and correctly). The major barriers to wearing masks were discomfort and inconvenience. Effective risk communication strategies to reach diverse groups for bett er compliance with public health measures are urgently needed even for the future.

Adherence to Antiretrovirals and HIV Viral Suppression Under COVID-19 Pandemic Interruption – Findings from a Randomized Clinical Trial Using Ingestible Sensors to Monitor Adherence
AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on vulnerable populations, including people living with HIV. California implemented a coronavirus lockdown (stay-at-home order) in March 2020, which ended in January 2021. We evaluated the pandemic ’s impact on both clinical outcomes of HIV RNA viral load (VL) and retention rate in a randomized clinical trial conducted from May 2018 to October 2020. The intervention group took co-encapsulated antiretrovirals (ARVs) with ingestible sensor (IS) pills from baseline through week 16. The IS syste m has the capacity to monitor adherence in real-time using a sensor patch, a...

Rare Case of Thygeson Superficial Punctate Keratitis After COVID-19 Vaccination
CONCLUSIONS: Although the COVID-19 vaccine remains overwhelmingly safe, clinicians should be aware of possible corneal side effects, including TSPK. Prompt ophthalmic assessment in those presenting with ocular symptoms after vaccination is encouraged.PMID:37399572 | DOI:10.1097/ICO.0000000000003333

Gastrointestinal tract and viral pathogens
World J Virol. 2023 Jun 25;12(3):136-150. doi: 10.5501/wjv.v12.i3.136.ABSTRACTViral gastroenteritis is the most common viral illness that affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, causing inflammation and irritation of the lining of the stomach and intestines. Common signs and symptoms associated with this condition include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and dehydration. The infections commonly involved in viral gastroenteritis are rotavirus, norovirus, and adenovirus, which spread through the fecal-oral and contact routes and cause non-bloody diarrhea. These infections can affect both immunocompetent and immunocompromised indiv...

Viruses and autism: A Bi-mutual cause and effect
World J Virol. 2023 Jun 25;12(3):172-192. doi: 10.5501/wjv.v12.i3.172.ABSTRACTAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of heterogeneous, multi-factorial, neurodevelopmental disorders resulting from genetic and environmental factors interplay. Infection is a significant trigger of autism, especially during the critical developmental period. There is a strong interplay between the viral infection as a trigger and a result of ASD. We aim to highlight the mutual relationship between autism and viruses. We performed a thorough literature review and included 158 research in this review. Most of the literature agreed on the poss...

Analysis of COVID-19 in tissues acquired by minimally invasive autopsy in out-of-hospital deaths with postmortem degeneration
In this study, MIA and autopsy were both performed in 15 COVID-19 cases 2-30 days after death, including 11 out-of-hospital deaths. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genome detection by reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction using MIA samples was mostly consistent with that using autopsy samples, especially for lung tissue, even in out-of-hospital cases. MIA had high sensitivity and specificity (> 0.80). Histological examination of lung tissue obtained by MIA showed characteristics of COVID-19 pneumonia, with 91% agreement with autopsy samples, and localization of SARS-Co...
