2 New studies on inflammatory response among pregnant women from flu shot

A7GEAW_2378638b

It has been postulated that the inflammatory response to vaccination may itself be detrimental to fetal brain development. To our knowledge, there are no available data regarding the magnitude or duration of inflammatory responses elicited by TIV in pregnant women. Thus, better understanding of the maternal inflammatory response elicited by vaccination is highly warranted from a clinical standpoint. Read…

Abstract
A five-year-old girl, vaccinated against varicella-zoster virus (VZV) presented with clinical symptoms of herpes zoster in the 6th cervical dermatome. A VZV direct immune-fluorescence assay was negative three times but additional genotypical analysis showed a VZV strain genotype 2 (Oka vaccine strain). Therefore the diagnosis of a breakthrough varicella disease with the vaccine strain was established. An immunodeficiency was ruled out and the patient responded well to the initiated therapy. This case demonstrates that a negative VZV direct immunofluorescence assay does not exclude an infection with the vaccine strain.
