Infections May Be Reactivated by Vaccination.(Brief Article)
2001 JAN 31 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Reports of reactivation of herpesvirus infections soon after receiving prophylactic vaccines suggests to researchers in Switzerland that there may be a causal relationship.
"Varicella zoster and herpes simplex viruses cause latent infections by persisting in human cells," wrote R. Walter and colleagues, SANZ, Neubruchstr 37. "Reactivation has been associated with increasing age, immunosuppression, cancer, stress, fever, exposure to ultraviolet light, and tissue damage. Based on three cases reported to the Swiss Drug Monitoring Centre SANZ, we postulated previously that vaccinations may trigger reactivation of herpesvirus infections due to vaccine-induced immunomodulation. In the meantime, 10 new cases of reactivated herpesvirus infections soon after vaccinations have been reported," they continued
Walter et al. published their study in Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift ("Reactivation of herpes virus infections by vaccination: Evidence or coincidence," Schweiz Med Wochenschr, 2000;130(44):1685-1688).
According to the study, these 10 new cases involved five women and five men who ranged in age from 16 to 60 years. Only one of the reactive cases reported stress prior to the vaccination and reactivation. The other nine were otherwise ...
