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:

Chickenpox is a common childhood disease which is highly contagious. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that in countries where chickenpox is an important public health burden, chickenpox vaccination should be introduced into their routine immunization programs. This present study is to ascertain the level of knowledge and attitude towards chickenpox infection and its vaccination among child-bearing women in Abraka, Delta State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional descriptive study design was adopted to assess the knowledge and attitude towards chickenpox vaccination among 140 randomly selected child-bearing mothers residing in Abraka community. Of the 140 respondents, a greater number was within 30-40 years of age (61.4%). Most of the respondents (95.7%) had heard about chickenpox and 77.1% stated correctly its mode of transmitted.Majority were well aware of the signs and symptoms of the infection which included itching rashes (85.7%), blisters and red spots (66.4%), and fever (61.4%). Despite the fact that most of the respondents (72.9%) knew about chickenpox vaccination, only very few (19.3%) claimed to know the vaccine used, with less than half of the respondents (44.3%) correctly indicating two doses as the complete dosing for chickenpox vaccination. A greater proportion (91.4%) of the women had vaccinated their children against chickenpox, and believed that it was effective (82.1%). A high level of knowledge and positive attitude towards chickenpox vaccination among child-bearing women was evident in this study, however, it is paramount to encourage pregnant women and mothers attending antenatal care to immunize their children against vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs). Keywords: Vaccination, chickenpox, vaccine-preventable diseases, knowledge, Abraka.

Abstract:

AbstractBackgroundThe “exogenous boosting hypothesis” postulates that reexposure to circulating varicella zoster virus (VZV) over the life span inhibits reactivation of VZV. Consequently, if circulation of VZV is suppressed by introduction of chickenpox vaccination, incidences of herpes zoster may rise.MethodsWe performed a systematic review and metaanalysis on impact of chickenpox vaccination on herpes zoster incidence and time trend, focusing on population-level effects by analyzing interrupted time-series (ITS) studies. We searched Medline and Embase for ITS reporting incidences of chickenpox and herpes zoster before and after implementation of chickenpox vaccination. Autoregressive integrated moving average models were calculated. Change in trend and incidence from studies were pooled.ResultsTwelve studies were included, of which 6 were eligible for metaanalysis. Metaanalysis revealed a significant increase in chickenpox cases prior to implementation of chickenpox vaccination and a reversed trend thereafter, particularly in individuals aged 1–4 years. The increase in age-adjusted herpes zoster incidence before implementation of chickenpox vaccination did not change thereafter. However, separate analysis of age groups revealed a net increase of hospitalized herpes zoster cases in individuals aged 10–49 years after implementation of chickenpox vaccination. This very small effect (fewer than 2 additional cases per 100 000 persons) did not occur in other age groups.ConclusionsTo date, no conclusive evidence exists that chickenpox vaccination has a substantial population-level impact on herpes zoster in nonvaccinated age groups. While exogenous boosting may exist, the effect size generated by chickenpox vaccination might be rather small on the population level.

Abstract:

Aim. To evaluate the potential for detecting of gene allelic polymorphism for chickenpox in adults.Materials and methods. The examination involved 201 conscripted soldiers of Caucasian race, aged between 18 and 24, who were born in and served in Zabaykalsky Krai. Determination of gene polymorphism was carried out via polymerase chain reaction. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood leukocytes using DNA-Express reagent. IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 (International Business Machines Corporation, License No. Z125-3301-14, USA) was used for statistical processing of the results.Results. IL-10(G1082A) obtains the highest predictive value for chickenpox, while TLR9(T1237C) – the lowest. More commonly, chickenpox affects adults with IL-10(C819T), IL-10(G1082A) and TLR9(A2848G). TLR9(T1237C) is insignificant for chickenpox. TT and TC IL-10(G1082A), GA and AA TLR9(A2848G), AG and GG IL-10(C819T) are activators of chickenpox. AA IL-10(G1082A), CC IL-10(C819T), AA TLR9(A2848G) are chickenpox protectors. Android app was created for prognosis and early diagnosis of chickenpox in adults.Conclusion. Genes GA, AA IL-10(G1082A, and TT, CT IL-10(C819T), as well as AG, GG TLR9(A2848G) predispose to chickenpox, and gene AA TLR9(A2848G) reduces the probability of developing the disease. Considering that, the main prognostic markers for chickenpox in adults are polymorphisms of genes IL-10(G1082A), TLR9(A2848G), IL-10(C819T), the developed diagnostic model allows for the prediction and early diagnosis of the disease.

Abstract:

In west and central Africa, monkeypox occurs mainly in older children, adolescents and young adults. In two large epidemiology studies of monkeypox outbreaks, the investigators observed a sizable number of coinfections of chickenpox (varicella) and monkeypox. Based on a review of the literature, we propose that chickenpox (human herpesvirus-3 infection) is a risk factor for acquisition of monkeypox infection. Our hypothesis states that the chickenpox skin lesion provides an entry site for the monkeypox virus, which is harbored on a fomite in the environment of the patient. The fact that monkeypox can enter via a scratch or abrasion is a known mechanism of spread for three other poxviruses, including mousepox (ectromelia), orf and molluscum contagiosum. There are many similarities in pathogenesis between certain poxviruses and chickenpox, including a viremia with a cellular stress response leading to high levels of the IL-6 cytokine. One very revealing observation in the two epidemiology studies was that the number of pox as well as the severity of disease in children with chickenpox and monkeypox coinfection was not greater than found in children with monkeypox alone. Based on the above observations, we conclude that, when chickenpox precedes monkeypox, priming of the immune system by the earlier chickenpox infection moderates the severity of the secondary infection with monkeypox. This conclusion also has important public health implications about chickenpox surveillance.

Abstract:

Chickenpox is a highly contagious infectious disease caused by the Varicella Zoster virus, characterized by a characteristic eruption on the skin and can affect people of all ages. Increasing knowledge and behaviour to prevent chickenpox transmission is very important for mining workers, especially in their accommodation environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge of mining workers and prevention behaviour of chickenpox transmission. The type of research used is associative descriptive. The respondents of this study were 67 mining workers who lived in the Ras Laffan Industrial City Qatar accommodation, which were obtained through total sampling. The results showed that there was a relationship between knowledge and the behaviour to prevent chickenpox transmission with a significant value of p = 0.023, p <α (0.05). Suggestions for workers in the Ras Laffan Industrial City Qatar accommodation environment, especially those related to preventing the transmission of chickenpox, should be more aware of the very fast transmission of chickenpox.

Abstract:

Chickenpox can be defined as a highly communicable viral infection caused by varicella zoster virus; most frequently influences pediatric in five to nine yrs old. The commonly occurred signs and symptoms of chickenpox are comprises vesicular rash appears on the scalp, face and trunk, and then disseminates distally to limbs (centrifugal distribution). The most common complications of chickenpox are bacterial soft-tissue infection, pneumonia, and encephalitis. Encephalitis is a most commonly occurred central nervous system complications expose the pediatric to other problems or death. The main goal chickenpox infection management in children is to alleviate the symptoms such as skin infections, fever, itching etc and making the children confortable. Adequate intravenous acyclovir administration is crucial for successful management of chickenpox, but it must be administered within twenty-four hrs. after the onset of the disease. Management of chickenpox with oral acyclovir given within twenty four hrs of onset of rash may be more effective.

Abstract:

Oka/Merck varicella vaccine has been studied in this institution since 1981. Persistence of antibody for 6 to 8 years has been demonstrated; however, cases of chickenpox have been seen in immunized children. The severity of chickenpox in healthy children who have received Oka/Merck varicella vaccine since 1981 is described. All vaccinees who developed chickenpox-like rashes more than 6 weeks postimmunization were exammined. Of 2163 vaccinees, 164 were examined, of whom 114 had rashes consistent with chickenpox. When sera were available (46%), antibody studies uniformly confirmed varicella-zoster virus infection. Chickenpox occurred 2 to 96 months (median of 44 months) postimmunization. The range for the number of skin lesions was 1 to 285 (median 18) in seroconverters. Symptoms included itching in 39%, fever in 9%, headaches in 7%, lymphadenopathy in 3%, and malaise in 2%; 54% were asymptomatic, except for the rash. The median time to total healing was 5 days. The median time lost from school was 2 days. Thirteen of the children in whom infections developed had failed to seroconvert after immunization. Their infections were similar in severity to those of children who had seroconverted originally. When varicella was introduced into families as a result of chickenpox in an immunized family member (index case), the rate of secondary chickenpox among immunized siblings was 12.2%. Eleven such secondary cases were similar in severity to the 9 index cases. It is concluded that chickenpox is generally mild in previously immunized children.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION. Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease, but one that can be effectively prevented by vaccination. In Poland, vaccination against the disease is recommended, paid for, and chickenpox remains very common. In recent years, starting in 2002, the upward trend in the incidence of chickenpox has continued, except in 2020. In 2020, there was a decrease in incidence. OBJECTIVES. The aim of this study was to evaluate epidemiological indicators of chickenpox in Poland in 2021 compared to previous years, taking into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The evaluation of the epidemiological situation of chickenpox in Poland in 2021 was carried out based on the results of the analysis of aggregate data published in the annual bulletins: "Infectious Diseases and Poisons in Poland in 2021" and "Immunization in Poland in 2021". In addition, recommendations from the 2021 Immunization Program are described. RESULTS. 57,669 cases of chickenpox were registered in Poland in 2021, 42% less than in the previous year. The incidence of chickenpox in 2021 was 151.1 per 100,000, which was lower than in 2020, as well as in 2019, when it was 470.6/100,000. The lowest incidence was registered in Lower Silesia Province - 99.2/100,000, while the highest in Silesia Province - 215.8/100,000. The highest incidence was in children aged 0-4 years (18,028). The incidence of chickenpox in males was higher than in females (159.5 vs. 143.3/100 thousand), and urban residents were higher than rural residents (152.1 vs. 149.6/100 thousand). Hospitalization due to chickenpox in 2021 included 210 people, which accounted for 0.36% of the total number of registered cases. CONCLUSIONS. In 2021, there was a decrease in the number of chickenpox cases compared to the previous year. The lower incidence may have been the result of a decrease in the transmission of the chickenpox virus, the decrease in the number of cases has to do with, among other things, the restrictions put in place in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, which result in, among other things, reduced human contact, the wearing of masks and increased social distance.

Abstract:

Abstract Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a herpesvirus that causes chickenpox and shingles. The biological mechanisms underpinning the multidecadal latency of VZV in the body and subsequent viral reactivation—which occurs in approximately 30% of individuals—are largely unknown. Because chickenpox and shingles are endemic worldwide, understanding the relationship between VZV transmission and reactivation is important for informing disease treatment and control. While chickenpox is a vaccine-preventable childhood disease with a rich legacy of research, shingles is not a notifiable disease in most countries. To date, population-level studies of shingles have had to rely on small-scale hospital or community-level data sets. Here, we examined chickenpox and shingles notifications from Thailand and found strong seasonal incidence in both diseases, with a 3-month lag between peak chickenpox transmission season and peak shingles reactivation. We tested and fitted 14 mathematical models examining the biological drivers of chickenpox and shingles over an 8-year period to estimate rates of VZV transmission, reactivation, and immunity-boosting, wherein reexposure to VZV boosts VZV-specific immunity to reinforce protection against shingles. The models suggested that the seasonal cycles of chickenpox and shingles have different underlying mechanisms, with ambient levels of ultraviolet radiation being correlated with shingles reactivation.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study: to explore the frequency of development, features of the clinical course and treatment of acute myocarditis in adults with chickenpox. Materials and methods. This study included 240 patients with chickenpox between the ages of 18 and 40 years. Clinical, biochemical, molecular genetics and instrumental examination methods were used for assessment. Examination of selected patients was carried out in the acute period, after normalization of body temperature and before being discharged from the hospital. Student’s t test was used for statistical evaluation. Results and discussion. Acute myocarditis was diagnosed in 16.6% of patients with chickenpox caused by Varicella-zoster virus. A high correlation has been revealed between the severity of chickenpox and the frequency of development, as well as the severity of acute myocarditis in adults. Conclusions. An increase in CRP, sialic acid and fibrinogen in the blood serum of chickenpox patients reflects the severity of the disease, but is not specific for myocarditis. Treatment of acute myocarditis in patients with chickenpox should be early and comprehensive.

Abstract:

Varicella infections cause substantial morbidity and mortality in adolescents and adults. The primary infection, chickenpox, results in lifelong immunity to chickenpox. A seroprevalence study carried on adolescents 15–18 years of age attending schools in Lebanon showed 96·6% immunity to varicella. The positive predictive value for immunity to chickenpox based on history alone was 97·4%, whereas the negative predictive value was 4·5%. Coming from a bigger family was a statistically significant predictor of immunity to chickenpox. In a developing country like Lebanon the merits and limitations of implementing universal varicella vaccination is discussed in relation to seroprevalence and socioeconomic factors.

Abstract:

Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV/HHV-3), one of the eight human herpesviruses. VZV virus-associated peripheral neuropathies usually occur after shingles in adults and more rarely after chickenpox in children. Although chickenpox has a good prognosis, neurological complications such as encephalitis, acute cerebellar ataxia, myelitis, and meningitis are rarely associated with the disease. Peripheral facial paralysis (PFP) is an extremely rare complication in patients with chickenpox. We report the case of a 19-year-old woman with unilateral PFP, which developed after varicella infection, who was successfully treated with acyclovir, short-term steroids, and physical rehabilitation.
