Abstract:
People with chickenpox often gain lifelong immunity after one infection. In most cases, chickenpox's natural immunity provides significant protection against reinfection. However, patients with a second reinfection have been encountered periodically. Neither population-based nor individual data are available on the frequency of reported second Varicella infections among Indians. The possibility of third-time reinfection is very rare, even in reputed literature. Here, we discuss a 68-year-old patient with four reinfections of chickenpox. Two reputed dermatologists confirmed his infection, and he recovered fully with Acyclovir and bed rest. The primary objective of this case report is to highlight the risk of chickenpox reinfections and reinfections occurring more than two times.

Abstract:
Background Chickenpox is an old but easily neglected infectious disease. Although chickenpox is preventable by vaccines, vaccine breakthroughs often occur, and the chickenpox epidemic is on the rise. Chickenpox is not included in the list of regulated communicable diseases that must be reported and controlled by public and health departments; therefore, it is crucial to rapidly identify and report varicella outbreaks during the early stages. The Baidu index (BDI) can supplement the traditional surveillance system for infectious diseases, such as brucellosis and dengue, in China. The number of reported chickenpox cases and internet search data also showed a similar trend. BDI can be a useful tool to display the outbreak of infectious diseases. Objective This study aimed to develop an efficient disease surveillance method that uses BDI to assist in traditional surveillance. Methods Chickenpox incidence data (weekly from January 2017 to June 2021) reported by the Yunnan Province Center for Disease Control and Prevention were obtained to evaluate the relationship between the incidence of chickenpox and BDI. We applied a support vector machine regression (SVR) model and a multiple regression prediction model with BDI to predict the incidence of chickenpox. In addition, we used the SVR model to predict the number of chickenpox cases from June 2021 to the first week of April 2022. Results The analysis showed that there was a close correlation between the weekly number of newly diagnosed cases and the BDI. In the search terms we collected, the highest Spearman correlation coefficient was 0.747. Most BDI search terms, such as “chickenpox,” “chickenpox treatment,” “treatment of chickenpox,” “chickenpox symptoms,” and “chickenpox virus,” trend consistently. Some BDI search terms, such as “chickenpox pictures,” “symptoms of chickenpox,” “chickenpox vaccine,” and “is chickenpox vaccine necessary,” appeared earlier than the trend of “chickenpox virus.” The 2 models were compared, the SVR model performed better in all the applied measurements: fitting effect, R2=0.9108, root mean square error (RMSE)=96.2995, and mean absolute error (MAE)=73.3988; and prediction effect, R2=0.548, RMSE=189.1807, and MAE=147.5412. In addition, we applied the SVR model to predict the number of reported cases weekly in Yunnan from June 2021 to April 2022 using the same period of the BDI. The results showed that the fluctuation of the time series from July 2021 to April 2022 was similar to that of the last year and a half with no change in the level of prevention and control. Conclusions These findings indicated that the BDI in Yunnan Province can predict the incidence of chickenpox in the same period. Thus, the BDI is a useful tool for monitoring the chickenpox epidemic and for complementing traditional monitoring systems.

Abstract:
Background Chickenpox is a common infectious disease among children. Ever since a live attenuated vaccine was developed in 1970s, different countries have adopted different vaccination program against chickenpox. Hong Kong recently has commenced a routine childhood varicella vaccination program. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether routine childhood varicella vaccination is cost effective and the implications to Hong Kong. Methodology Literature search was done on electronic databases: Medline and Embase for articles relevant to the topic. A total of 9 articles were retrieved for this systemic review. All 9 studies focus on the cost effectiveness of childhood varicella vaccination with comparison to no vaccination or other interventions. Findings Routine childhood varicella vaccination program is cost effective especially from the societal perspective. The longer the vaccination program takes place, the more cost effective it would be. The cost effectiveness ratio is most sensitive to the coverage rate and the vaccine price. Conclusion It remains unclear whether the routine childhood varicella vaccination program in Hong Kong would be cost effective or not. As the Hong Kong program has adopted the most recent recommendations towards varicella vaccines that the review articles were not included.

Varicella-zoster virus is the cause of chickenpox. The most common mechanism of transmission is air-borne but it is also possible vertical. Susceptibility to Varicella-zoster virus is the total except children in the first two months of age. Chickenpox during pregnancy can cause complications, both for the pregnant woman and the unborn baby. However, the actual risk of any complications occurring is low. Chickenpox is a "children" respiratory infection.

Abstract:
Introdução: A varicela é uma doença exantemática benigna da infância, causada por uma infecção primária pelo vírus Varicela-zoster. No Estado de São Paulo, no ano de 2003, foram notificados 58.972 casos de varicela mediante ocorrências de surtos, configurando um ano hiperendêmico para a doença. De um total de 60 óbitos em todo o Estado, 47 ocorreram em menores de 4 anos. Mais da metade dos óbitos incidiu em moradores da Região Metropolitana da Grande São Paulo. Objetivos: Descrever e caracterizar os indivíduos residentes na Região Metropolitana da Grande São Paulo que evoluíram para gravidade ou óbito por varicela em 2003 e estudar os fatores preditores desses eventos. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo descritivo das variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas, antecedentes pessoais e epidemiológicos dos casos de varicela, além de uma análise exploratória dos fatores preditores de gravidade e óbito pela doença. A existência de associação entre as exposições de interesse e gravidade ou óbito por varicela foi investigada pelas estimativas não ajustadas e ajustadas do odds ratio, com os respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95%, utilizando-se a regressão logística não condicional. Resultados: As seguintes variáveis demonstraram associação independente com gravidade e óbito por varicela: complicações raras, pulmonares, hemorrágicas e neurológicas. Cirurgia realizada durante a internação por varicela também foi um fator preditor de gravidade. A taxa de mortalidade foi 36 vezes maior na faixa etária de menores de 15 anos em relação à faixa etária de adultos, e 5 vezes maior na faixa de menores de um ano em comparação à faixa de 1 a 14 anos. Conclusão: O amplo conhecimento da epidemiologia da varicela, suas complicações e fatores de risco para gravidade e óbito, é de extrema importância para fundamentar a implementação de estratégias de prevenção e controle deste agravo nos grupos de maior risco.
Introduction: Chickenpox is a benign exanthematous disease of childhood, whose primary infection is caused by the Varicella-zoster virus. In the State of São Paulo, in 2003, 58,972 chickenpox cases were notified following outbreaks, configuring a hyperendemic year for the disease. From a total of 60 deaths in the whole State, 47 happened in children up to 4 years old. More than half of the deaths occurred in residents of the Greater São Paulo Metropolitan Area. Objectives: To describe and characterize those individuals residents in the Greater São Paulo Metropolitan Area who developed chickenpox severity or death during the year 2003, and to study the predictive factors of these events. Method: A descriptive study was performed, analyzing clinical and social-demographic variables, personal and epidemiological records of the chickenpox cases. Besides, an exploratory analysis of the redictive factors of severity and death by the disease was made. Association between exposures of interest and chickenpox severity or death was investigated by unadjusted and adjusted odds ratio estimation, with 95% confidence intervals, using unconditional logistic regression. Results: The following variables keep an independent association with severity and death for chickenpox: development of rare, pulmonary, hemorrhagic and neurological complications. The need of surgery during the chickenpox hospitalization was an independent predictive factor for severity only. The mortality rate was 36 times greater in the age group from 0 to 14 years old than in the adult age group, and 5 times greater in children up to 1 year old than in the age group ranging from 0 to 14 years old. Conclusion: The comprehensive knowledge of the chickenpox epidemiology, its complications and risk factors for severity and death is extremely important to base the implementation of prevention and control strategies for groups at greater risk of infection.

Abstract:
Many infectious diseases are spread through interactions between susceptible and infectious individuals. Keeping track of where each exposure to the disease took place, when it took place, and which individuals were involved in the exposure can give public health officials important information that they may use to formulate their interventions. Further, knowing which individuals in the population are at the highest risk of becoming infected with the disease may prove to be a useful tool for public health officials trying to curtail the spread of the disease. Epidemiological models are needed to allow epidemiologists to study the population dynamics of transmission of infectious agents and the potential impact of infectious disease control programs. While many agent-based computational epidemiological models exist in the literature, they focus on the spread of disease rather than exposure risk. These models are designed to simulate very large populations, representing individuals as agents, and using random experiments and probabilities in an attempt to more realistically guide the course of the modeled disease outbreak. The work presented in this thesis focuses on tracking exposure risk to chickenpox in an elementary school setting. This setting is chosen due to the high level of detailed information realistically available to school administrators regarding individuals' schedules and movements. Using an agent-based approach, contacts between individuals are tracked and analyzed with respect to both individuals and locations. The results are then analyzed using a combination of tools from computer science and geographic information science.

Висока контагіозність, майже 100 % сприйнятливість до цієї інфекції, а також відсутність планової вакцинації не сприяє зменшенню захворюваності. Відносно нетяжкий перебіг, низька летальність були причиною «спокійного» ставлення до цієї хвороби. Але сучасні клінічні спостереження дозволяють стверджувати про появу деяких особливостей перебігу.

Abstract:
Uvod: Varičela (Varicella, Ovčije boginje) i herpes zoster (Herpes Zoster) su bolesti koje izaziva virus varicella - zoster. Varičela spada u najčešće dečje osipne groznice. Herpes zoster je bolest ljudi starijeg životnog doba. Imunizacija protiv varičele i herpes zostera je dala značajne rezultate u prevenciji ovih bolesti. Raspoloživi epidemiološki pokazatelji nisu dovoljni za uvođenje adekvatnog programa imunizacije protiv ovih bolesti u našoj zemlji. Cilj istraživanja bio je da se na teritoriji Vojvodine utvrde: seroprevalencija varicella-zoster virusnih antitela, epidemiološke karakteristike obolelih od varičele u periodu 1994−2014. godine i obolelih od herpes zostera u periodu 1997−2005, uzrasno specifične incidencije i udeo hospitalizovanih u ukupnom broju obolelih od varičele odnosno herpes zostera u periodu 2010−2014. godine. Materijal i metode: Istraživanje epidemioloških karakteristika varičele i herpes zostera je sprovedeno retrospektivno, analizom podataka iz epidemiološkog nadzora. Seroepidemiološko istraživanje je sprovedeno prospektivno (april 2015−februar 2016). Prikupljeno je 3.570 rezidualnih seruma uz prethodno informisanje i pisanu saglasnost pacijenata. Uzorak je reprezentativan za populaciju Vojvodine, prema mestu stanovanja, polu i uzrastu. Imunokompromitovani i primaoci transfuzije krvi u poslednjih šest meseci su izuzeti iz istraživanja. Testiranje seruma je sprovedeno ELISA testom u Centru za virusologiju Instituta za javno zdravlje Vojvodine. Referentna evropska laboratorija prosledila je referentni panel seruma koji je testiran pre i tokom testiranja banke seruma. Standardizacija rezultata je sprovedena na osnovu jednačine koju je prosledio Public Health England (PHE). Izračunata je i analizirana seroprevalencija antitela u odnosu na uzrast, pol i područje stanovanja. Istraživanje incidencije hospitalizovanih slučajeva varičele i herpes zostera sprovedeno je retrospektivno prikupljanjem podataka o hospitalizacijama. Statistički značajnim smatrane su vrednosti na nivou značajnosti p < 0,05 a visoko statički značajnim p < 0,01. Rezultati: Seroprevalencija antitela protiv virusa varicella-zoster u testiranom uzorku populacije Vojvodine je 84%. Utvrđen je očekivano visok procenat seropozitivne dece do navršenih devet godina života (73,3%). Osim u uzrasnim grupama < 1 i 1−4 godine, seroprevalencija raste sa uzrastom. Varičela se u Vojvodini održava endemo-epidemijski sa visokim incidencijama. U posmatranom periodu, najviša uzrasno specifična incidencija varičele se registruje u uzrastu 5−9 godina (5.824,6/100.000 stanovnika) i 0−4 godine (5.000,7/ 100.000 stanovnika). Od varičele su češće obolevali muškaraci dok su žene značajno ćešće obolevale od herpes zostera (p = 0,000 < 0,01). Incidencije varičele i herpes zostera se značajno razlikuju u odnosu na mesto stanovanja. Udeo hospitalizovanih u ukupnom broju obolelih od varičele bio je od 0,7 do 0,9%. Najviša uzrasno specifična incidencija hospitalizovanih sa varičelom registrovana je u uzrastu 0−4 godine i opada sa uzrastom. Incidencija herpes zostera najviša je kod starijih od 60 godina života (970,2/100,000 stanovnika), dok je incidencija hospitalizovanih slučajeva herpes zostera najviša kod starijih od 65 godina (105,7/100.000). Udeo hospitalizovanih slučajeva herpes zostera u ukupnom broju obolelih od herpes zostera se kretao u rasponu od 2,2 do 3,6 % ( ≥2% ). Zaključak: Rezultati ovog istraživanja ukazuju da varičela i herpes zoster značajno opterećuju zdravstveno stanje našeg stanovništva zbog čega postoji osnov za uspostavljanje epidemiološkog nadzora i kreiranje adekvatnog programa imunizacije.
Introduction: Varicella (Varicella, Chicken pox) and herpes zoster (Herpes Zoster) are diseases caused by the Varicella- zoster virus. Varicella is the most common children's rash-causing fever. Herpes zoster is mainly a disease of elderly people. Immunisation against varicella and herpes zoster have led to significant results in the prevention of these diseases. Available epidemiological indicators are not sufficient for introduction of an adequate program of immunization against these diseases in our country. The aim of the research was to establish: seroprevalence of varicella-zoster virus antibodies, the epidemiological characteristics of patients with varicella in the period 1994-2014. and patients with herpes zoster in the period 1997-2005, age-specific incidence and share of hospitalized patients in the total number of patients with varicella and herpes zoster in the period 2010-2014, in Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Material and methods: The study of epidemiological characteristics of varicella and herpes zoster was conducted retrospectively by analyzing data from epidemiological surveillance. Seroepidemiological study was conducted prospectively (April 2015- February 2016). The total of 3.570 residual sera were collected with previously taken written informed consents of patients. Immunocompromised patients and recipients of blood transfusions in the last six months were not included in the survey. The sample was representative by residence, sex and age for population of Vojvodina. Testing of sera was conducted by ELISA tests at the Center for virusology, Institute of Public Health of Vojvodina. Reference European laboratory forwarded the reference panel serum which was tested before and during the testing of serum bank. Standardization of the results was based on the equation previously sent by Public Health England (PHE). Seroprevalence of antibodies was calculated in relation to the age, sex and area of residence. Incidence of hospitalized cases of varicella and herpes zoster was determined by retrospective collection of hospitalization data. Statistically significant was considered values at a significance level of p < 0,05 and highly statistically significant at p < 0,01. Results: The seroprevalence of antibodies against Varicella- zoster virus in the sample of the population of Vojvodina was 84%. High percentage of seropositive children under the age of nine years of age (73,3%) was determined, as expected. The seroprevalence increases with age, except in the age groups <1 and 1-4. Varicella in Vojvodina maintains endemo-epidemic mode with high incidence. In the observed period, the highest age-specific incidence of varicella is registered in the age group 5-9 years (5.824,6/100.000 inhabitants) and at the age of 0-4 years (5.000,7/100.000 inhabitants). Varicella was found significantly more often in men while herpes zoster was more often in women (p= 0,000 <0,01). Incidence of varicella and herpes zoster significantly varied among the population of certain municipalities in Vojvodina. The share of hospitalized patients in the total number of patients with varicella ranged from 0,7 to 0,9%. The highest age-specific incidence of hospitalized patients with varicella was registered in the age of 0-4 years and decreases with age. The incidence of herpes zoster is highest in people over 60 years of age (970,2/100.000 inhabitants), whereas the incidence of hospitalized cases of herpes zoster was highest in patients over 65 years (105,7/100.000). Proportion of hospitalized cases in the total number of patients with herpes zoster ranged from 2,2 to 3,6% . Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that varicella and herpes zoster are significant burden of the health status of our population and there is a basis for the establishment of epidemiological surveillance and creation of an adequate program of immunization.

Abstract:
Context: Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) primary infection causes a diffuse vesicular rash and affects mainly young people. VZV-associated encephalitis is a rare complication since the advent of vaccination, and can present as different neurological syndromes. This report aims to describe a case of acute cerebellar ataxia after VZV-associated encephalitis in a child, admitted to the Onofre Lopes University Hospital (HUOL) in Natal, Brazil. Case report: We present the case of a 9-year-old girl referred to HUOL with polymorphic skin lesions for 8 days. She evolved with headache, vomiting, drowsiness and confusion. Upon admission, she was pale (+/4+), anicteric, confused (GCS=14), hemodynamically stable, SaO2=99%, with pupillary response and no meningism. Laboratory tests showed Hb 11.7g/dl, leukocytes 7,200/mm³ (93% segmented, 1% eosinophils, 5% lymphocytes and 2% monocytes), AST 38U/ml and ALT 46U/ml. Once clinical diagnosis of VZVencephalitis was made, the patient was admitted to the ICU for monitoring and treatment. Cranial CT showed hypodensities on the frontal and occipital lobes; CSF analysis: glucose=76mg/dl, proteins=24mg/dl, leukocytes=9/mm3 (monocytes 78%). She improved progressively and was transferred to the ward, evolving with ataxia, suggesting cerebellitis. Conclusions: This case describes a chickenpox rare complication nowadays: encephalitis. Along evolution, the patient presented acute cerebellar ataxia, a more prevalent condition in children, usually having a limited course.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Whether traditional Chinese medicine could be used for preventing contagious respiratory virus diseases, including monkey pox, smallpox, measles, chickenpox and rubella? Meanwhile, this review aimed at providing the evidence for the global epidemic prevention and control. Background: Monkeypox is an emerging zoonotic infection caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV), which in the past has been primarily detected in West and Central Africa. Since May 2022, 47 countries have reported 3040 monkeypox cases to WHO. Transmission has occurred in many countries that have not previously reported monkeypox cases, and countries in the WHO European region currently report the largest number of cases. As recently recommended by the WHO, monkeypox should be actively monitored and extensively studied worldwide. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has two thousand years of experience for treating infectious pox diseases. WHO also affirmed the contribution of traditional Chinese medicine to the fight against COVID-19. Therefore, we planned to summarized the classical evidence as well as the clinical evidence of TCM for smallpox, measles, chickenpox and rubella, so as to provide evidence for the treatment of monkey pox.

Abstract:
We examine the role of Venezuelan forced migration on the propagation of 15 infectious dis-eases in Colombia. For this purpose, we use rich municipal-monthly panel data. We exploit the fact that municipalities closer to the main migration entry points have a disproportionate ex-posure to infected migrants when the cumulative migration flows increase. We find that higher refugee inflows are associated with increments in the incidence of vaccine-preventable dis-eases, such as chickenpox and tuberculosis, as well as sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS and syphilis. However, we find no significant effects of migration on the propagation of vector-borne diseases. Contact with infected migrants upon arrival seems to be the main driving mechanism.
