Antioxidant and inflammatory biomarkers in herpes zoster.
Oskay T, Keskin C, Özen M. Oskay T, et al. J Med Virol. 2022 Aug;94(8):3924-3929. doi: 10.1002/jmv.27781. Epub 2022 Apr 29. J Med Virol. 2022. PMID: 35426146
The risk of herpes zoster (HZ) increases as cell-mediated immunity declines with age. Even though oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the development of HZ, there are few serum biomarkers of the disease's antioxidant activity. ...Significant differences were ob …

Vitamin D Deficiency or Supplementation and the Risk of Human Herpesvirus Infections or Reactivation: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Lin LY, Bhate K, Forbes H, Smeeth L, Warren-Gash C, Langan SM. Lin LY, et al. Open Forum Infect Dis. 2020 Dec 22;8(1):ofaa570. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofaa570. eCollection 2021 Jan. Open Forum Infect Dis. 2020. PMID: 33511224 Free PMC article. Review.
RESULTS: Ten studies were included, all conducted among immunosuppressed patients. There was no evidence that vitamin D deficiency is associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease (pooled risk ratio, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.66-1.7), herpes zoster after transpl …
