To gain deeper insights into pathogenesis of herpes zoster, the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from male patients mostly were subjected to single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) and ATAC-seq analysis. Here we show a detailed immune cell profile in the onset of and recovery from herpes zoster, revealing proportion alterations of the subpopulations, which were validated by flow cytometric analysis and comparison of blood routine data. The integrative analysis of the transcriptomes and epigenomes provided a comprehensive description and validation of the key changes in peripheral blood. This study may provide deep insight into the immune profile during herpes zoster progression and holds potential clinical significance.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising therapeutic approach in gynecologic cancers, particularly ovarian and cervical malignancies. Agents such as mirvetuximab soravtansine, and tisotumab vedotin, targeting folate receptor alpha and tissue factor, respectively, reported clinical efficacy in patients with limited options. However, their use is associated with ocular toxicities, including keratopathy, blurred vision, and dry eye, which may impact adherence and quality of life.

Objective: Two vaccines against herpes zoster (HZ) are currently authorized for use in China: the adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) and live-attenuated Zoster Vaccine Live (ZVL). The significant disparities in prices and efficacy between the two vaccines necessitate an evaluation of their relative value in order to make an informed choice. This study aimed to evaluate the comparative cost effectiveness of RZV, ZVL, and no vaccination for older adults at different ages from the societal perspective.

We report a case of zosteriform PCMZL presenting in a T3-T4 dermatomal distribution not previously described in the literature. Although the varicella zoster virus was not detected in this case, late diagnosis of the acute eruption of zoster or even preceding zoster 'sine herpete' cannot be excluded as antigenic triggers.

Herpes zoster (HZ) is a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus. It is a common infection, especially among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). This study aimed to assess the awareness and uptake of the HZ vaccine, as well as their determinants, among patients with diabetes DM in the Aseer Region, Saudi Arabia.

Background: SLE has increased risk of invasive pneumococcal disease due to immune dysregulation and immunosuppression. European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology recommendations suggest sequential vaccination with conjugate vaccine, followed by 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23). However, data on immunogenicity of sequential vaccination in SLE are limited.
