Stroke risk after varicella-zoster virus infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis
In conclusion, the risk of stroke increases after VZV infection, decreasing over time. Post-infection vascular inflammatory changes often occur in the middle cerebral artery and its branches, with a better prognosis in most patients and less frequent persistent progression.PMID:37219811 | DOI:10.1007/s13365-023-01144-0

Association of Cytomegalovirus Infection with Lenticulostriate Stroke After Mild Head Trauma in Young Children
In this study, we explored the association of a recent viral infection with the development of infantile lenticulostriate stroke with lenticulostriate calcification following mild head trauma in children. We examined the records for 49 children (<36 months old) diagnosed with infantile stroke following mild head trauma at the First Hospital of Jilin University between January 2007 and August 2019. The demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, and laboratory and imaging results were collected and analyzed. Antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus, herpes simplex virus, and cytomegalovirus in the patient sera wer...

Infectious Agents and Stroke: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: Considering the adverse role of the above-mentioned microorganisms, it is necessary to implement some preventive measures for stroke treatment.PMID:35154584 | PMC:PMC8817172 | DOI:10.32598/bcn.2021.1324.2

The association of stroke with herpes zoster ophthalmicus
CONCLUSIONS: After accounting for stroke risk factors, our analysis confirms the association between HZO and stroke, with highest risk in the immediate month after an episode.PMID:37612386 | DOI:10.1038/s41433-023-02708-4

Increased Stroke Risk Following Herpes Zoster Infection and Protection with Zoster Vaccine
CONCLUSION: Patients had a significantly higher risk of stroke within the first month following recent herpes zoster infection. Receipt of at least one zoster vaccination was found to mitigate this increased risk. Vaccination may therefore be viewed as a protective tool against the risk of neurologic post-infection sequelae.PMID:35796546 | DOI:10.1093/cid/ciac549

The relationship between herpes zoster and stroke.
Abstract
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infects >95 % of the world population. Typically, varicella (chickenpox) results from primary infection. The virus then becomes latent in ganglionic neurons along the entire neuraxis. In immunocompromised individuals, VZV reactivates and causes herpes zoster (shingles), pain, and rash in 1-2 dermatomes. Multiple case reports showed a link between stroke and zoster, and recent studies have emerged which reveal that VZV infection of the cerebral arteries directly causes pathological vascular remodeling and stroke (VZV vasculopathy). In the past few years, several large epide...

Effects of herpes zoster vaccination and antiviral treatment on the risk of stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis suggests that the HZV, but not antiviral treatment, decreases the odds of developing stroke.PMID:37265460 | PMC:PMC10231675 | DOI:10.3389/fneur.2023.1176920

Zoster-associated Prothrombotic Plasma Exosomes and Increased Stroke Risk
J Infect Dis. 2022 Oct 6:jiac405. doi: 10.1093/infdis/jiac405. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHerpes zoster (HZ, shingles) caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV) reactivation increases stroke risk for up to one-year post-HZ. The underlying mechanisms are unclear, however, the development of stroke distant from the site of zoster (e.g. thoracic, lumbar, sacral) that can occur months after resolution of rash points to a long-lasting, virus-induced soluble factor(s) that can trigger thrombosis and/or vasculitis. Herein, we investigated the content and contributions of circulating plasma exosomes from HZ and non-HZ patient samp...

Trend in the Numbers of Hospitalized Patients With Varicella, Herpes Zoster, and Ischemic Stroke in Japanese Individuals & lt;20 Years of Age Before and After Implementation of Universal Varicella Vaccination
Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2023 Mar 20. doi: 10.1097/INF.0000000000003907. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSeveral studies have shown an association between varicella-zoster virus infection and ischemic stroke. We analyzed the trends in the numbers of patients with varicella, herpes zoster and ischemic stroke before and after the universal vaccination program using a Japanese database of hospitalized patients. The number of patients with varicella decreased but those of herpes zoster and ischemic stroke did not change.PMID:36996309 | DOI:10.1097/INF.0000000000003907

GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR ANTIBODIES IN NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES: Anti-AMPA-GluR3 antibodies, Anti-NMDA-NR1 antibodies, Anti-NMDA-NR2A/B antibodies, Anti-mGluR1 antibodies or Anti-mGluR5 antibodies are present in subpopulations of patients with either: Epilepsy, Encephalitis, Cerebellar Ataxia, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Neuropsychiatric SLE, Sjogren's syndrome, Schizophrenia, Mania or Stroke. These autoimmune anti-glutamate receptor antibodies can bind neurons in few brain regions, activate glutamate receptors, decrease glutamate receptor's expression, impair glutamate-induced signaling and function, activate Blood Brain Barrier endothelial cells, kill neurons, damage the brain, induce behavioral/psychiatric/cognitive abnormalities and Ataxia in animal models, and can be removed or silenced in some patients by immunotherapy.
Abstract
Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter of the Central Nervous System (CNS), and it is crucially needed for numerous key neuronal functions. Yet, excess glutamate causes massive neuronal death and brain damage by excitotoxicity-detrimental over activation of glutamate receptors. Glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity is the main pathological process taking place in many types of acute and chronic CNS diseases and injuries. In recent years, it became clear that not only excess glutamate can cause massive brain damage, but that several types of anti-glutamate receptor antibodies, that are present in ...

Herpes simplex virus encephalitis mimicking acute ischemic stroke
CONCLUSION: HSV infections may mimic stroke and therefore should be included in the differential diagnosis of atypical acute nervous conditions. In neurological events of acute nature, especially in febrile patients whose brain imaging is suspicious or inconclusive, the eventuality of a herpetic encephalitis should be kept in mind. This will lead to a prompt antiviral therapy and to a favorable outcome.PMID:36895212 | PMC:PMC9990771 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_1123_2022
