Herpes Simplex Virus Meningoencephalitis Masquerading as Acute Stroke With Broca's Aphasia: A Case Report
This report highlights the importance of considering herpes encephalitis as a potential etiology in patients presenting with atypical neurological symptoms, even in the absence of typical radiological findings. Early diagnosis and appropriate management with acyclovir are crucial in improving outcomes in such cases.PMID:37476130 | PMC:PMC10354683 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.40618

Ramsay Hunt Syndrome with Pharyngolaryngeal Involvement Mimicking Acute Stroke: A Case Report
We present a 56-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with acute pharyngitis. Two days later, the patient developed dysarthria, hoarseness, and left side facial weakness. Considering a patient's history of cardiovascular events, the acute stroke was suspected. Magnetic resonance imaging ruled out an acute cerebrovascular accident. The patient's otalgia aggravated and he reported hearing loss. Clinical examination revealed facial paralysis affecting the left side of the face, erythematous rash on the left auricle, multiple vesicles present on patient's left tympanic membrane, ulcerous lesion on the left side of the soft p...

A Case of Transient Global Amnesia: A Review and How It May Shed Further Insight into the Neurobiology of Delusions
Conclusion In closing, our patient’s episode of TGA combined with her emotional and perceptual response lends credence to the proposal of a “fear/paranoia” circuit in the genesis of paranoid delusions—a circuit incorporating amygdala, frontal, and parietal cortices. Here, neutral or irrelevant stimuli, thoughts, and percepts come to engender fear and anxiety, while dysfunction in frontoparietal circuitry engenders inappropriate social predictions and maladaptive inferences about the intentions of others.[54] Hippocampus relays information about contextual information based on past experiences and the current situat...

Vessel wall magnetic resonance and arterial spin labelling imaging in the management of presumed inflammatory intracranial arterial vasculopathy
Brain Commun. 2022 Jun 20;4(4):fcac157. doi: 10.1093/braincomms/fcac157. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTOptimal criteria for diagnosing and monitoring response to treatment for infectious and inflammatory medium-large vessel intracranial vasculitis presenting with stroke are lacking. We integrated intracranial vessel wall MRI with arterial spin labelling into our routine clinical stroke pathway to detect presumed inflammatory intracranial arterial vasculopathy, and monitor disease activity, in patients with clinical stroke syndromes. We used predefined standardized radiological criteria to define vessel wall enhancement, and all...

Acute Cardiovascular Events after Herpes Zoster: A Self-Controlled Case Series Analysis in Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Older Residents of the United States
Conclusions Stroke and MI rates are transiently increased after exposure to herpes zoster. We found no evidence for a role of zoster vaccination in these associations. These findings enhance our understanding of the temporality and magnitude of the association between zoster and acute cardiovascular events.

Herpes Zoster and Long-Term Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Conclusions HZ is associated with higher long-term risk of a major cardiovascular event. These findings suggest there are long-term implications of HZ and underscore the importance of prevention.PMID:36382961 | DOI:10.1161/JAHA.122.027451

Antibodies to Human Herpesviruses and Rate of Incident Cardiovascular Events and All-Cause Mortality in the UK Biobank Infectious Disease Pilot Study
CONCLUSIONS: In this mostly White UK Biobank subset, neither HHV seropositivity nor titers were associated with stroke/MI or all-cause mortality.PMID:35873304 | PMC:PMC9301583 | DOI:10.1093/ofid/ofac294

Comparative Safety of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 Vaccines in a Nationwide Cohort of US Veterans
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The findings of this cohort study suggest that there were few differences in risk of adverse events within 14 days of the first dose of either the BNT162b2 or the mRNA-1273 vaccine and small-magnitude differences within 42 days of the first dose. The 38-week risks of adverse events were low in both vaccine groups, although risks were lower for recipients of the mRNA-1273 vaccine than for recipients of the BNT162b2 vaccine. Although the primary analysis was designed to detect safety events unrelated to SARS-CoV-2 infection, the possibility that these differences may partially be explained by a low...

In Context News in brief
Herpes zoster infection can transiently increase the risk of stroke, according to the results of a recent case series analysis. 42954 patients aged at least 65 years with a zoster diagnosis and who had had an ischaemic stroke were identified from Medicare databases in the USA over a 5 year period. By calculating age-adjusted incidence ratios for predefined periods of up to 12 months after zoster diagnosis, the investigators showed a 2·4 times increase in the risk of ischaemic stroke (2·37, 95% CI 2·17-2·59) in the first week after diagnosis that decreased gradually over 6 months.

Unusual Symptoms of Coronavirus: What We Know So Far
While most people are familiar with the hallmark symptoms of COVID-19 by now—cough, fever, muscle aches, headaches and difficulty breathing—a new crop of medical conditions are emerging from the more than 4 million confirmed cases of the disease around the world. These include skin rashes, diarrhea, kidney abnormalities and potentially life-threatening blood clots. It’s not unusual for viruses to directly infect and affect different tissues and organs in the body, but it is a bit unusual for a primarily respiratory virus like SARS-CoV-2, which is responsible for COVID-19, to have such a wide-ranging reach...

Elsberg Syndrome, Lumbosacral Radiculopathy, and Myelitis Due to Herpes Zoster in a Patient With Smoldering Myeloma
J Investig Med High Impact Case Rep. 2022 Jan-Dec;10:23247096211063348. doi: 10.1177/23247096211063348.ABSTRACTHerpes zoster (HZ) is a common illness caused by the reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus (VZV) due to waning immunity, often secondary to old age or an underlying immunocompromised state. Its complications can manifest in variety of ways, including persistent neuralgias, vasculopathies, and stroke. Here, we describe a case of a 45-year-old man with a history of cryptogenic stroke and smoldering myeloma who was admitted with sacral HZ complicated by right lumbosacral radiculopathy and myelitis, otherwise ...

Intracranial Large Artery Stenosis and Past Infectious Exposures: Results From the NOMAS Cohort
CONCLUSIONS: Chronic infectious exposures, specifically herpes simplex virus 2 and cytomegalovirus were associated with asymptomatic ILAS as seen on magnetic resonance angiogram imaging. This may represent an additional target of intervention in the ongoing effort to stem the substantial global burden of strokes related to ILAS.PMID:35105181 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.036793
