BACKGROUND Varicella universal vaccination (UV) has been implemented in many countries for several years. Nevertheless, varicella UV remains debated in Europe and few data are available on the real burden of infection. We assessed the burden of varicella in Belgium through analysis of hospitalised cases during a 1-year period. METHODS Data on children admitted to hospital with varicella were ...
OBJECTIVE To compare the cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit of different strategies for managing the presumed susceptible varicella (chickenpox)-exposed gravida. METHODS Three strategies were evaluated: 1) a do-nothing or observation strategy; 2) a testing strategy, in which immune status was assessed and varicella-zoster immune globulin was administered to those who tested nonimmune; and 3)...
UNLABELLED Varicella zoster is an acute viral infection that results from reactivation of a latent varicella zoster virus. It usually occurs in adult population and immune compromised patients. It rarely occurs in healthy children. Here we present a 14 years old male with varicella zoster that had abdominal pain mimicking acute abdomen to alert others who are consulted for the differentiation o...
Introduction: Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection in pregnant women the last three weeks of pregnancy or days before delivery causes neonatal varicella. It is rare newborns and infants due to passive immunity received from mother. Thus we report a case varicella for an educational purpose. Case report: A 14-day-old girl was referred Department Pediatrics with red rash all over her body. The ...
An epizootic of simian varicella occurring in a colony of Erythrocebus patas monkeys was studied serologically by using radioimmunoassay and neutralization tests against (i) a virus strain isolated from an animal that died during the epizootic, (ii) a simian varicella virus strain from an earlier outbreak of simian varicella-like disease at another facility, and (iii) human varicella-zoster vir...
INTRODUCTION Varicella zoster virus is an exclusively human neurotrophic virus. The primary infection with the virus causes varicella. The virus remains latent in nervous tissue and upon secondary activation causes a variety of syndromes involving the central nervous system (CNS) including meningoencephalitis and cerebellitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we looked at the epidemiology...
BACKGROUND There is little information regarding peripheral facial palsy (PFP) as a complication of varicella. We describe 2 adults who developed varicella-related PFP, in 1 case as a part of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), and review all reported cases of this condition. METHODS MEDLINE search. RESULTS A total of 10 cases of isolated varicella-associated PFP have been reported. PFP was diag...
Reactivation of latent Varicella-Zoster virus may cause various neurological complications including meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis, vasculopathy resulting in stroke and pseudotumor cerebri. It occurs mainly in elderly or immunocompromised patients and is very rare in children. We report a 4-year and 6-months old immunocompetent boy who developed encephalitis and cerebellites, due to reacti...
In 1947, LaForet and Lynch first described the association between maternal infection by Varicellazoster virus during the beginning of gestation and congenital anomalies in the newborn(1). Today varicella during pregnancy is a very rare condition. Primary infection by varicella during gestation is estimated to affect one to seven per 10 thousand pregnant women(2). The Varicella-zoster virus is ...
OBJECTIVE Varicella vaccination was introduced at the end of 1999 into the Uruguayan immunisation schedule for children aged 12 months. Varilrix (Oka strain; GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals) has been the only vaccine used since then and coverage has been estimated to exceed 90% since the start of the universal varicella vaccination programme. We assessed the impact of the Uruguayan varicella vaccin...
