Infection, vaccination, and childhood arterial ischemic stroke
A stroke occurs when a blood vessel to the brain is either blocked or ruptured. When blood to part of the brain is blocked, it causes what is called an ischemic stroke. Stroke is much more common in adults and the elderly. This is because fats and cholesterol can build up and block blood vessels as we age. Stroke is much less common in children. Stroke occurs in 11 per 100,000 children under the age of 18 every year.1 Still, it is one of the top 10 causes of death for children.2 We don't routinely expect children to have the major risk factors for atherosclerosis, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, an...

Infection, vaccination, and childhood arterial ischemic stroke: Results of the VIPS study
Conclusions: Infection may act as a trigger for childhood AIS, while routine vaccinations appear protective. Hence, efforts to reduce the spread of common infections might help prevent stroke in children.

Evaluating Clinical Effectiveness of Pneumococcal Vaccination in Preventing Stroke: The CAPAMIS Study, 3-Year Follow-up
This study assessed clinical effectiveness of PPV23 in preventing ischemic stroke in people older than 60 years.Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study involving 27,204 individuals of 60 years or older in Tarragona, Spain, who were prospectively followed from December 01, 2008, until November 30, 2011. Outcomes were neuroimaging-confirmed ischemic stroke, 30-day mortality from stroke, and all-cause death. Pneumococcal vaccination effectiveness was evaluated by Cox regression analyses, estimating hazard ratios (HRs) adjusted for age, sex, comorbidities, and influenza vaccine status.Results: Cohort members were...

A call for new attitudes on infection, vaccination, and childhood stroke
Population-based estimates of the incidence of childhood stroke range from 2.6 to 13 cases per 100,000 children per year. Unlike in adults, conventional stroke risk factors such as arterial hypertension, diabetes, and cigarette smoking make little contribution to the etiology of stroke in children. Developmental, genetic, and environmental factors are major contributors to ischemic stroke in children.

Correspondence on “Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Previously Vaccinated Against COVID-19”
Dear Editor, we read and follow the publication on the “Clinical Characteristics of Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Previously Vaccinated Against COVID-19” saga.1 There are no significant variations in clinical characteristics of stroke in vaccinated versus unvaccinated patients, according to Stamenkovi et al. We found no evidence of a link betw een vaccination and stroke.1 Since the basic Wirchow's triad is the accepted explanation for the pathophysiological process of the stroke, we agree that there should be no difference in the pathogenesis of the stroke in cases with and without vaccination history.

Stroke Associated with COVID-19 Vaccines
Development of safe and effective vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains the cornerstone of controlling this pandemic. However, there are increasing reports of various types of stroke including ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke, as well ascerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) after COVID-19 vaccination. This paper aims to review reports of stroke associated with COVID-19 vaccines and provide a coherent clinical picture of this condition. Most of such patients are women under 60 years of age and who had received ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine.

Angiotensin II Peptide Vaccine Protects Ischemic Brain Through Reducing Oxidative Stress Basic Sciences
Conclusions—Our findings indicate that Ang II vaccination exerts neuroprotective and antioxidative effects in cerebral ischemia, with renin–angiotensin system blockade by penetration of anti–Ang II antibodies into ischemic brain lesion. Ang II peptide vaccination could be a promising approach to treat ischemic stroke.

Acute Ischemic Stroke Revealing ChAdOx1 nCov-19 Vaccine-Induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia: Impact on Recanalization Strategy
We describe a case of a young healthy women suffering from acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion without cerebral venous thrombosis 8 days after vaccination and its consequences on recanalization strategy.Considering the thrombocytopenia, intravenous thrombolysis was contraindicated. She underwent mechanical thrombectomy with complete recanalization and dramatically improved clinically.

Flu jab "may cut" stroke risk by a quarter
ConclusionThis research finds that, overall, having the flu vaccine reduced the risk of a person experiencing a stroke by about 25%. The reduction in risk seemed to be greatest within the first three months of vaccination, but remained for up to 12 months.  However, the effect lasted only if the vaccine was given early in the flu season (September to mid-November); giving the vaccine late in the flu season (mid-November to February) was not associated with significantly reduced risk.The research benefits from using data coded within the General Practice Research Database for England and Wales for almost 50,000 people with...

Influenza and pneumococcal vaccination and risk of stroke or transient ischaemic attack-Matched case control study.
CONCLUSIONS: Influenza vaccination was associated with a 24% reduction in risk of stroke but not TIA. Pneumococcal vaccination was not associated with reduced risk of stroke or TIA. This has important implications for potential benefits of influenza vaccine. PMID: 24486370 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
