Félicitations à @OlivierSupplisson pour sa magnifique analyse #spatiotemporelle de la #séroprévalence des #herpesvirus (#HSV1, #HSV2, #VZV, #EBV, et #CMV) en #france.

Cet article combine des données massives de #CERBA (>300 000 sérologies) avec de magnifiques #modèles #gaussiens #latents dans #R-INLA !

Ce travail a été réalisé en collaboration avec le centre national de référence #CNR des herpèsvirus.

#Mpox #Epidemiology & #Risk #Factors, #Nigeria, 2022, Emerg Infect Dis.: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/9/24-0135_article

Odds of being mpox+ were higher for adults with #HIV & lower for those co-infected with #varicella zoster virus (VZV). No #children were HIV+; odds of being mpox+ were higher for children with VZV infection. Our findings indicate mpox affects primarily adults in Nigeria, partially driven by sexual activity; childhood cases were driven by close #contact, #animal exposure, and #VZV co-infection.

#virologists and other #virus experts....who is the expert on the impact of multiple viruses? We have a number of experts that look at one or two viruses, but who looks at systemic impact of multiple viruses? #CMV #EBV #VZV

Who is the expert on how they all interact with each other in our bodies? Is there a cumulative effect?

Chickenpox vaccine should be given to children on NHS, JCVI says

Steroids are very effective immunomodulating drugs. BUT they do increase the risk of some infections.

This is a nice review describing what infections steroids make you susceptible. The immunology affected is discussed but harder to pin down, as likely context dependent.

Despite slight age differences, convincing evidence of zoster vaccine efficacy in renal transplant population

Some biologics have side effects which look like infections...

But this @[email protected] reviews infections which mimic biologics, like #VZV, #CMV, #PJP, and fungi
