Etiological analysis of discarded measles in the context of a measles outbreak among a highly immunized population

Nuria Torner et al.

Summary: A study on discarded measles cases during an outbreak among highly immunized population showed that 11.2% of the samples tested positive for virus infection, including rubella, human herpes virus 6, and measles. Among the confirmed cases, 10% had received the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, compared to 54% of the discarded measles cases.

Decline in reported measles cases in Italy in the COVID-19 era, January 2020-July 2022: The need to prevent a resurgence upon lifting non-pharmaceutical pandemic measures

Giacomo Facchin et al.

Summary: From January 2020 to July 2022, there were 120 reported measles cases in Italy with a sharp decline compared to the pre-COVID-19 period, possibly due to non-pharmaceutical interventions. Among the cases, 103 were infected before the national lockdown in March 2020. A quarter of cases reported complications. With the easing of pandemic measures, countries need to ensure high vaccination coverage and close immunity gaps to avoid future outbreaks.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and lytic reactivation of herpesviruses: A potential threat in the postpandemic era?

Jungang Chen et al.

Summary: The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 has greatly stressed the healthcare system by causing the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to respiratory and systemic symptoms, comorbidities such as chronic viral infections increase the risk of fatal outcomes. Recent reports have shown an increase in lytic reactivation of human herpesviruses in COVID-19 patients and vaccinated individuals. Coinfection, treatments, and vaccination for COVID-19 may aggravate herpesvirus-associated diseases by reactivating the latent viruses. This review summarizes recent clinical findings and limited mechanistic studies on the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and human herpesviruses, highlighting the ongoing potential threat to human health in the postpandemic era.

Arthur Daniel Rocha Alves et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to perform differential laboratory diagnoses of B19V and herpesvirus infections in patients with RD and AFI without a defined etiology. The results showed a certain prevalence of B19V and herpesvirus infections in these patients, highlighting the importance of including them in the differential laboratory diagnoses.

An Overview of Cytomegalovirus Infection in Pregnancy

Mihaela Plotogea et al.

Summary: This review focuses on cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection during pregnancy, discussing maternal diagnosis, fetal infection and prevention, prenatal diagnosis, and postnatal prognosis. It provides a comprehensive analysis of adult and congenital infection through literature review. Various methods of prenatal diagnosis, including maternal serum testing and confirmation of infection in amniotic fluid or fetal blood, as well as imaging techniques, are discussed. Early diagnosis of fetal sequelae is crucial, and methods to decrease fetal involvement should be considered. Postnatal evaluation is also important to detect clinical anomalies that may be asymptomatic in many newborns.

Molecular evidence for SARS-CoV-2 in samples collected from patients with morbilliform eruptions since late 2019 in Lombardy, northern Italy

Antonella Amendola et al.

Summary: As a reference laboratory for measles and rubella surveillance in Lombardy, we evaluated the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and measles-like syndromes, providing preliminary evidence for undetected early circulation of SARS-CoV-2. Our findings suggest that a SARS-CoV-2 progenitor capable of producing a measles-like syndrome may have emerged in late June-late July 2019 and that viruses with mutations characterizing B.1 strain may have been spreading globally before the first Wuhan outbreak.

Intraoral human herpes viruses detectable by PCR in majority of patients

Tami Yap et al.

Summary: The study aimed to identify factors influencing the prevalence of human herpes viruses in the mouth using mucosal swabs, saliva samples, and qPCR analysis. Among immunocompetent individuals with no mucosal abnormalities, 77.1% had at least one HHV detected, with EBV being the most common. Detection of HHVs was higher in saliva compared to oral swabs, and the presence of oral mucosal abnormalities or therapeutic immunocompromise did not increase the detection of HHVs.

ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Herpesviridae 2021

Derek Gatherer et al.

Summary: Members of the family Herpesviridae have complex structures and adapt well to their hosts, establishing lifelong latent infections with limited gene expression. Severe diseases are usually observed in specific populations like foetuses, infants, immunocompromised individuals, or alternative hosts. This summary is based on the ICTV Report on Herpesviridae, available at ictv.global/report/herpesviridae.

Herpesvirus reactivation during severe COVID-19 and high rate of immune defect

A. Saade et al.

Summary: The study found that the incidence of herpesvirus reactivation in patients treated in the ICU for severe COVID-19 was high, but in most cases did not require antiviral treatment. Pre-existing hematological malignancy and solid organ transplantation were independently associated with viral reactivation, but viral reactivation was not associated with mortality.
