ObjectiveTo determine the antibody levels of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in healthy individuals aged 1 to 30 years in Songjiang District of Shanghai, and to provide evidence for further development of varicella immunization strategies for healthy population. MethodsSix village committees were selected in Songjiang District through multi-stage stratified random sampling method from July to September 2022. Healthy individuals aged 1 to 30 years old in these villages were recruited and 3‒5 mL of venous blood was collected. Anti-VZV IgG antibody was tested by ELISA. Positive rate of anti-VZV IgG antibody and geometric mean concentration (GMC) were determined. ResultsA total of 315 healthy individuals aged (10.97±8.38) years were included in this study, of which 165 were males aged (11.00±8.52) years and 150 were females aged (10.96±8.25) years. Blood samples were collected and tested for anti-VZV IgG antibody, with the overall positive rate of 55.24% (174/315). The GMC was calculated to be 99.73 mIU·mL-1, with the GMC in those tested positive for anti-VZV IgG antibody of 413.11 mIU·mL-1. The positive rate of anti-VZV IgG antibody and GMCs across age groups ranged between 13.33%‒86.67% and 16.36‒355.14 mIU·mL-1, respectively. The highest GMC was found in the group of 20‒30 years old (355.14 mIU·mL-1), followed by 132.41 mIU·mL-1 in the group of 5‒ years old and 138.12 mIU·mL-1 in the group of 15‒ years old. Moreover, the positive rate was 38.47% in the group with 1-dose varicella vaccine and 63.49% in the group with 2 doses, while the GMC were 53.28 mIU·mL-1 and 130.79 mIU·mL-1 in these two groups, respectively. Multivariable analysis revealed that occupation was a risk factor associated with anti-VZV IgG antibody (OR=2.540). Stratified analysis by varicella immunization history showed that among 2-dose vaccination group, time interval since the last dose was a protective factor (OR=0.315). ConclusionsThe overall positive rate of anti-VZV IgG antibody in healthy population in Songjiang District of Shanghai remains low. The 2-dose varicella vaccination should be strengthened to improve the coverage in susceptible population.

@#Abstract: Objective This paper aims to explore the effect of live attenuated varicella vaccine on the sensitivity of tuberculin skin test(TST), and to provide reference for tuberculin skin test in the future. Methods TST and emergency varicella vaccine were administered to students in grade one of a high school in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, who had both TB and varicella cases. Independent-samples t test was used to analyze the mean diameter of induration of TST in day 0, day 83 and day 195. The retrospective cohort study was used to analyze the effect of live attenuated varicella vaccine on TST.   Results The mean induration diameter of 45 students who participated in three TST tests on day 0, day 83 and day 195 were analyzed by independent sample t test. On day 0, there was a difference in the mean diameter of TST induration between the unvaccinated and vaccinated groups(1.630±2.837 vs 5.818±4.530) (t=-3.692, P=0.001). On day 83, there was no difference in the mean diameter of TST induration between the two groups(0.001±0.001 vs 0.114±0.533) (t=-1.000, P=0.329). On day 195, there was a difference in the mean diameter of TST induration between the two groups(1.913±3.774 vs 5.023±5.126) (t=-2.309, P=0.026). Moreover, the retrospective cohort study showed that the mean diameter of TST induration changed more significantly after inoculation with varicella vaccine, RR=6.071, 95%CI (1.667-22.116), P<0.05; After inoculation with varicella vaccine, the mean diameter of TST test did not change significantly from day 0 to day 195 with no statistical significance RR=3.474, 95%CI (0.333-36.240), P>0.05. Conclusions Live attenuated varicella vaccine may temporarily affect the sensitivity of tuberculin skin test.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of two doses of varicella vaccine in a population at high risk for varicella.Methods:The case group involved all varicella cases in classes with no less than three patients during varicella outbreaks in Tianjin schools from 2017 to 2019. A case-control study was carried out in a 1∶3 ratio. According to the seat position of each case, three nearby students who did not suffer from varicella were selected as controls. The protective effect of two doses of varicella vaccine was evaluated.Results:The total protective effect of varicella vaccine was 46.0% (95% CI: 42.7%-49.0%). The protective effect was 44.7% (95% CI: 41.2%-48.0%) for one-dose varicella vaccine and 80.0% (95% CI: 63.1%-89.2%) for two-dose varicella vaccine. For two doses of varicella vaccine, the protective effect was 87.6% (95% CI: 52.0%-96.8%) after 0-2 years and 76.6% (95% CI: 33.6%-91.5%) after 3-5 years.Conclusions:The protective effect of two doses of varicella vaccine is better than that of one dose. However, both one-dose and two-dose vaccines show decreased protective effect over time. A booster immunization could be considered in high-risk population with longer intervals since the last vaccination.

A 95-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for rehabilitation after a subarachnoid hemorrhage, but her physical function deteriorated due to repeated aspiration pneumonia. On the first day of the illness, a painless erythema appeared on the right elbow fossa, and expanded soon afterwards. She developed a fever of unknown origin, which led us to the diagnosis of generalized herpes zoster by using a rapid diagnostic kit. The patient was placed in a private room to prevent nosocomial infection, and we took contact infection prevention measures, such as, restricting the number of staff in the room. Antiviral drugs were administered to the patient, quickly relieving her fever. The erythema became encrusted in about 2 weeks, and private room management was terminated.Recently, due the start of periodic vaccination, the incidence of varicella has decreased;however, the increasing incidence of herpes zoster infections among the elderly remains a concern, since the onset of herpes zoster infections is inhibited by the booster effect of contact with varicella patients. Many patients are at a high risk for herpes zoster in convalescent rehabilitation wards due to the long-term admission of elderly patients with underlying diseases. Because more patients with severe herpes zoster are expected in convalescent rehabilitation wards in the future, we herein reexamine the management of such patients from the perspective of early diagnosis, nosocomial infection prevention measures, and prevention of herpes zoster onset.

Objective To evaluate the vaccination of live attenuated varicella vaccine ((VarV) in Jinshan District of Shanghai. Methods Descriptive and analytical epidemiological analysis was carried out using the information of VarV immunization of children born between November 1, 2006 and October 31, 2018 (1-12 years) in the Jinshan District Immunization Program Information System. Results There were 82 584 registered children aged 1-12 years in Jinshan District, and the vaccination rate of VarV at the first dose (VarV1) was 90.95%. The vaccination rate of children in this city was higher than that of migrant children, and the annual vaccination rate of children born in different years was between 59.81% and 99.93%. The vaccination rates in northern, central and southern Jinshan District were 89.25%, 93.27% and 91.39%, respectively. Among the 82 584 registered children, the second dose of VarV (VarV2) vaccination rate was 49.01%. The vaccination rate of children in this city was higher than that of migrant children, and the annual vaccination rate of children born in different years was between 25.94% and 77.14%. The vaccination rates in northern, central and southern Jinshan District were 28.72%, 45.88% and 66.30%, respectively. Conclusion The VarV1 vaccination rate of children aged 1-12 in Jinshan District was higher, but the VarV2 vaccination rate was relatively low. It is necessary to further strengthen publicity in key areas to improve the level of VarV2 vaccination.

The number of reported varicella cases is continuously increasing in Korea; however, associated medical utilization is declining. The ratio between varicella insurance claims and reports of passive infectious disease surveillance has gradually increased to > 80% since the second half of 2017. The recent increase in reported varicella cases is influenced by improved reporting. We calculated the varicella incidence and cumulative incidence in each birth cohort according to age. The cumulative incidence rate among children aged < 6 years in the birth cohort born after the National Immunization Program introduced the varicella vaccine was about 60% lower than among children born before

Varicella(chickenpox)is an acute infectious disease with high incidence in children. It is mainly transmitted through the airborne route and vaccination is the best measure for the prevention and control. Data from post-marketing studies show the effectiveness of varicella vaccines is 80%-85%, and two-dose regimen is significantly more effective than one-dose. After inclusion of varicella vaccines into the national immunization programme, there has been a clear decrease in varicella morbidity. Despite the lack of direct evidence, there remains the risk that varicella-zoster virus might latent in the dorsal route ganglia after vaccination. Therefore, more safe and effective novel varicella vaccines are under development. This paper reviewed the progress in varicella vaccine development and their long-term efficacy and safety.

Objective To explore the epidemic factors of varicella transmission under high varicella vacince coverage, assess the vaccine effectineness of one dose of varicella vaccine, so as to provide scientific basis for controlling the varicella outbreak and optimizing the varicella immunization strategy. Methods A 1 ∶〗2 paired case-control study of a varicella outbreak was conducted in a primary school in central region of Jiangsu Province in 2018. Analysis of varicella epidemic factors was performed using conditional logistic stepwise regression. Results This outbreak lasted for 14 days. A total of 45 students were infected with varicella, of which 71.1% were breakthrough cases. The fever, rash degree and disease course of breakthrough cases were all relatively mild compared with those without immune history (all P5 years and the initial immunization age <15 months were potential risk factors for breakthrough cases. The overall vaccine effectiveness of one dose of varicella vaccine was 77.9%(95% CI: 53.3%-92.1%). The fever, severity of the rash and the course of the disease were all milder than those without the history of immunization (all P<0.05). Conclusions The clinical symptoms of the breakthrough cases are relatively mild, and one dose of varicella vaccine is insufficient to control the outbreak of varicella with limited vaccine effectiveness. Two doses of varicella immunization strategy is recommended.

Objective To evaluate the vaccine effectiveness ( VE) in children who received one dose of live attenuated varicella vaccine. Methods A questionnaire-based 1 ∶ 2 matching case-control study was conducted during May, 2015 to April, 2016 to evaluate the VE based upon the demographic data, vacci-nation status and clinical symptoms of 127 children with varicella and 254 healthy subjects under 12 years old. Results Compared with the healthy subjects, 83. 46% of the patients with varicella were immunized with one dose of varicella vaccine, which was lower than that of the control group (90. 55%) (χ2=4. 08, P<0. 05). The overall protective rate of one dose of varicella vaccine reached 64. 29% (95% CI:42. 00%-78. 00%). Of the 127 cases of varicella, 83. 46% were breakthrough cases immunized with one dose of var-icella vaccine. Primary cases presented more severe clinical symptoms than breakthrough cases. The longer the interval between vaccination and varicella-zoster virus infection was, the more severe the breakthrough cases would be. Conclusion Varicella vaccine is effective for preventing varicella, but the VE of one dose of varicella vaccine is limited. A two-dose varicella vaccination strategy should be proposed in our country as soon as possible.

PURPOSE: This study (NCT00751348) evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of a combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMRV) vaccine compared to co-administration of measles-mumps-rubella and varicella (MMR+V) vaccines in Korean children during their second year of life. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Healthy children aged 11-24 months received one dose of MMRV or MMR+V. Antibody titers against measles, mumps and rubella were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and against varicella using an immunofluorescence assay. Parents/guardians recorded adverse events in diary cards for up to 43 days post-vaccination. The primary objective was to demonstrate non-inferiority of MMRV to MMR+V for all antigens in terms of seroconversion rates (SCRs), defined as a group difference with a lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI)>-10%. RESULTS: Of 474 subjects enrolled, 458 (MMRV, 301; MMR+V, 157) were included in the according-to-protocol cohort. For measles (98.0% vs. 99.4%), rubella (99.7% vs. 100%) and varicella (98.9% vs. 100%) SCRs, the lower limits of the 95% CIs for group differences were greater than -10%; however, for mumps SCRs (88.8% vs. 94.2%), it was -10.40%. The primary objective of non-inferiority in mumps SCRs was therefore not met, although the observed group difference in a post-hoc analysis of anti-mumps antibodies using a plaque reduction neutralization assay was 0.39% with a 95% CI lower limit of -4.03%. Adverse events occurred at comparable frequencies for both groups, except for more frequent fever in MMRV recipients. CONCLUSION: Based on the pre-specified non-inferiority criterion, SCRs of the MMRV vaccine were non-inferior to that elicited by MMR+V vaccines for all antigens except mumps.

Introduction: Efficacy and effectiveness of varicella vaccine (VV) as post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) strategy have shown discordant results for disease risk reduction, and more consistent results in their ability to attenuate the disease. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of VV as PEP among household contacts. Material and Methods: We followed up 33 children after household exposure to a varicella case, of which 15 received VV as PEP and 18 did not received VV. The presence and severity of the disease were clinically determined. Results: Secondary attack rate was 53% among vaccinated and 89% among non-vaccinated children. Overall effectiveness of VV as PEP was 40% (CI95% 1%-64%). The effectiveness for preventing moderate or severe disease was 63% (CI95% 8%-85%) in the entire group and 77% (CI95% 14%-94%) among children vaccinated during the first 3 days post exposure. Vaccine tolerance was acceptable, with a low number of adverse reactions, all of them mild. Conclusion: The results suggest that VV as PEP is effective among household contacts, especially for reducing the severity of the disease.


Introducción: Los estudios de eficacia y efectividad de la vacuna antivaricela (V AV) como profilaxis post exposición (PPE) han mostrado resultados disímiles en cuanto a la reducción del riesgo de enfermar, y algo más consistentes en su capacidad de atenuar la enfermedad. Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad de la VAV como PPE utilizada en contactos domiciliarios. Material y Métodos: Se realizó el seguimiento post exposición de 33 contactos domiciliarios de casos de varicela, de los cuales 15 recibieron VAV como PPE y 18 no la recibieron. Se determinó clínicamente el desarrollo de enfermedad y la intensidad de la misma. Resultados: La tasa de ataque secundario fue 53% en vacunados y 89% en no-vacunados, siendo la efectividad global de la VAV como PEP 40% (IC95% 1%-64%). La efectividad para prevenir enfermedad moderada o intensa fue 63% (IC95% 8-85%) en el grupo completo y 77% (IC95% 14-94%) en los niños vacunados durante los primeros tres días post exposición. La tolerancia a la vacuna fue aceptable, con un bajo número de reacciones adversas, todas leves. Conclusión: Los resultados sugieren que la VAV es efectiva como PPE en contactos domiciliarios, especialmente para reducir la intensidad de la enfermedad.

Objective To study the genetic characteristrics of vaccine and varicella-zoster virus(VZV)strains isolated from patients with chickenpox or zoster by molecular analysis.Methods SNP based VZV genetic characteristrics were analyzed in 19 VZV isolates using the restriction fragment length polymorphisms analysis of DNA fragments of the open reading frames 6,38,62 and sequence alignment of the open reading frames 1,31,51,62.Results All vaccine strains were revealed Alu Ⅰ~-Pst Ⅰ~-Sma Ⅰ~+ BssH Ⅱ~+ Nae Ⅰ~+,96% clinical isolates were revealed Alu Ⅰ~+ Pst Ⅰ ~+Sma Ⅰ BssHⅡ Nae Ⅰ~-,2% clinical isolates were revealed Alu Ⅰ~-Pst Ⅰ~-Sma Ⅰ~+ BssH Ⅱ~+,2%clinical isolates were revealed Alu Ⅰ~+ Pst Ⅰ~-Sma Ⅰ~-BssHⅡ Nae Ⅰ~-by restriction fragment length polymorphisms analysis and sequence alignment revealed the mutations also presented in this four vaccine strains.Conclusion Use the restriction fragment length polymorphisms analysis of DNA fragments of the open reading,frames 6 and 62 could be distinguished VZV wild-type strains and vaccine strain in clinical isolates in China.In order to find the adverse effect caused by vaccine from certain company's,analysis on the SNPs in ORFs 1,31,51 and 62 is needed.
