1. 1. Varicella immunity and vaccination

   Författare :Anita Svahn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is an air-borne, extremely contagious herpesvirus. It causes chickenpox, which usually is a benign illness in childhood. Adults, pregnant women and immunocompromised patients often get a severe disease with complications. After infection the virus stays latent in sensory ganglia. LÄS MER

3. 2. The epidemiology of varicella zoster virus disease in Sweden : before and after vaccination

   Författare :Katarina Widgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Primary infection with the varicella zoster virus (VZV) presents as chickenpox, a highly contagious infection. Thereafter the virus establishes latency in nerve ganglia of the host. The virus may reactivate later in life and cause shingles, neurological and/or visceral complications. LÄS MER

4. 3. Herpesvirus infections in transplant recipients

   Författare :Jenny K Lindahl; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Allogeneic stem cell transplantation; Cytomegalovirus; Epstein-Barr virus; Human Herpesvirus type 6; Renal transplantation; Varicella zoster virus;

   Sammanfattning : Abstract Herpesvirus infections are common and can cause serious and life-threatening conditions in transplanted individuals. In this thesis, consisting of 4 papers (I-IV), we investigated primary infection and reactivation of Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Human Herpesvirus type 6 (HHV-6), Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) and Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) in transplant patients.

5. 4. Herpes virus retinitis - clinical and virological characteristics

   Författare :Joanna von Hofsten; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cytomegalovirus retinitis; acute retinal necrosis; varicella zoster virus; herpes simplex virus;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we first aimed to determine whether there may be herpes virus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the aqueous humour of asymptomatic individuals (paper II). Presence of herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein Barr virus (EBV) in aqueous humour was measured by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in patients eligible for cataract surgery.

7. 5. Viral proteins as serological antigens - Development and clinical applications

   Författare :Linn Persson Berg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Serology; ELISA; IgG; Varicella-zoster virus; Epstein-Barr virus; Measles virus; Viral glycoproteins; Multiple sclerosis;

   Sammanfattning : Serological methods are based on the detection of antibodies and antigens in mainly serum but also in other body fluids such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Conventional whole virus antigens are widely used in viral serological assays. LÄS MER
