Acute Retinal Necrosis Caused by the Zoster Vaccine Virus

چکیده
We report acute retinal necrosis caused by the vaccine Oka strain following immunization of a 78-year-old woman with live zoster vaccine. Whole genome sequencing confirmed the ocular vOka strain to be derived from the vaccine and excluded the presence of new mutations or recombination with wild-type Varicella zoster virus.

Detection of varicella-zoster virus genome in the vitreous humor from two patients with acute retinal necrosis; lacking or having a PstI cleavage site.
Using polymerase chain reaction, we detected the varicella-zoster virus genome in the vitreous humor of two patients with clinically diagnosed acute retinal necrosis. One of the two cases was thought to be caused by infection with a varicella-zoster virus lacking a PstI cleavage site. We could not find any clinical differences between the two substrains. The presence of a PstI cleavage site on ...

متن کاملIncidence, risk factors and prevention of herpes zoster: review article
Herpes zoster (Shingles; Zona) is an acute infectious skin disease that is caused by the reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV). After the initial infection (chickenpox) or vaccination, the virus remains inactive or latent in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG); when decreasing cell mediated immunity (CMI) occurs, the virus is reactivated from a latent phase to a lytic phase and frequently repl...
متن کاملEye and Periocular Skin Involvement in Herpes Zoster Infection
Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) is a clinical manifestation of the reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection and is more common in people with diminished cell-mediated immunity. Lesions and pain correspond to the affected dermatomes, mostly in first or second trigeminal branch and progress from maculae, papules to vesicles and form pustules, and crusts.
