1. Vaccines for preventing herpes zoster in older adults
BACKGROUND:Herpes zoster or, as it is commonly called, 'shingles' is a neurocutaneous disease characterised by the reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV), the virus that causes chickenpox, which is latent in the dorsal spinal ganglia when immunity to VZV declines. It is an extremely painful condition which can often last for many weeks or months, impai

2. Vaccines for post-exposure prophylaxis against varicella (chickenpox) in children and adults
BACKGROUND: Live attenuated varicella vaccines for the prevention of varicella (chickenpox) has been demonstrated both in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and in population-based immunisation programmes in countries such as the United States. However, many countries do not routinely immunise children against varicella, and exposures continue to occur. Alt

3. Uso de modelos de análise de decisão nos programas de vacinação contra a varicela / Use of decision analysis models in the programs of vaccination against varicella
BACKGROUND: The choice between different decision analysis models introduces variability in the results of economic evaluations. Static models do not take into account the indirect effects of vaccination, thus compromising the overall assessment of vaccination benefits. This work developed two models one dynamic and another static to conduct cost-effectivene

4. Immunization status analysis and evaluation of antibody titers against measles and varicella in 83 chronic renal failure children and adolescents in conservative and dialytic therapy / "Levantamento da situação vacinal e avaliação sorológica para sarampo e varicela de crianças e adolescentes portadores de insuficiência renal crônica em tratamento conservador e dialítico"
A infecção é causa de morbimortalidade no paciente com insuficiência renal crônica (IRC), facilitada pela uremia, que leva a resposta imune insuficiente, inclusive após a vacinação. Foram avaliadas a situação vacinal e a presença de anticorpos para sarampo e varicela, de 83 crianças e adolescentes com IRC. A adesão dos pacientes às vacinas foi

5. Preventing Varicella-Zoster Disease
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the cause of chickenpox and shingles, is a pathogen in retreat following the introduction of mass vaccination in the United States in 1995. The live attenuated Oka vaccine, which is safe and immunogenic, gives good protection against both varicella and zoster in the short to medium term. It has undoubtedly been highly effective

6. Infection of Human T Lymphocytes with Varicella-Zoster Virus: an Analysis with Viral Mutants and Clinical Isolates
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) disseminates in the body in peripheral blood mononuclear cells during chickenpox. Up to 1 in 10,000 mononuclear cells are infected during the viremic phase of the disease. We developed an in vitro system to infect human mononuclear cells with VZV by using umbilical cord blood. In this system, 3 to 4% of T cells were infected with
