Common Features Between Stroke Following Varicella in Children and Stroke Following Herpes Zoster in Adults : Varicella-Zoster Virus in Trigeminal Ganglion
Curr Top Microbiol Immunol. 2021 Jul 6. doi: 10.1007/82_2021_236. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe cerebral arteries are innervated by afferent fibers from the trigeminal ganglia. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) frequently resides in the trigeminal ganglion. Reports of arterial ischemic stroke due to VZV cerebral vasculopathy in adults after herpes zoster have been described for decades. Reports of arterial ischemic stroke due to post-varicella cerebral arteriopathy in children have also been described for decades. One rationale for this review has been post-licensure studies that have shown an apparent protective effect fro...

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...

Pilot study of antibodies against Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in relation to the risk of developing stroke, nested within a rural cohort in Uganda
ConclusionsThis is the first prospective study to examine a biological measure of exposure to VZV prior to diagnosis of stroke and although we identified no significant association, in this small pilot, with limited characterisation of cases, we cannot exclude the possibility that the virus is causal for a subset. The impact of HIV on risk of stroke has not been well characterised and warrants further study.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
