Varicella and herpes zoster are two infectious skin diseases of human that caused by varicella zoster virus, where varicella disease is a primary infection that often infected younger people while herpes zoster disease is a recurrent disease that often infected older people because of reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus. If the pain caused by herpes zoster after recurrent phase is a appeared then the condition is known as postherpetic neuralgia. This study builds a mathematical model of primary infection (varicella disease) and recurrent infection (herpes zoster disease) developed from the SIR model (Susceptible, Infected, Recovered). The human population is divided into seven subpopulations, namely susceptible, infection, recovered of varicella, herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia subpopulation. Stability analysis at the critical point by linearization method gives a critical point 𝑇1 that guaranted to exist and unstable if 𝛼 𝜇(𝛽1+𝜇) 𝐴 , while the critical point 𝑇1 does not have any reqruitment. Stability analysis at the endemic disease-free critical point is represented 𝑇1 that will be unstable if 𝑇2 exist and stable 𝑇1 if 𝑇2 exist. Numerical simulations by simulated to describe such temporary disease-free conditions and an endemic stable conditions.

Epidemiological Factors

Herpes zoster is a neurocutaneous disease caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV). It results from the reactivation of latent virus in dorsal root or cranial nerve cells following primary infection or vaccination as a consequence of waning of immunity. There may be a possible association between the occurrence of varicella infection and various environmental factors. So this study was designed to know the pattern of clinical presentation, seasonal variations and epidemiological factors of Herpes Zoster patients. A total of 172 Herpes Zoster out of 27979 patients of different skin diseases attending at Dhamrai Upazilla Hospital in Bangladesh were studied between March 2010 to June 2013. The frequency of occurrence of Herpes Zoster was 0.61%. Among the patients, 57.56% were male and 42.44% were female between the ages of 5 months to 90 years, with mean age 39 years. Nearly half of the patients (48.26%) were in between 30-59 years age. The patients were continued to report throughout the year with a surge in rainy season. Majority of the patients (65.70%) had thoracic dermatome followed by cervical and lumbar distribution, each of them 11%. A large-scale and prospective community based study is recommended to enrich the findings as well as a complete clinical and epidemiological picture of Herpes zoster in Bangladesh.Faridpur Med. Coll.

Severe Immunodeficiency

Among HIV-infected individuals, skin diseases cause significant morbidity and are frequently the initial indication of immunosuppression. From an on-going cohort study to determine prevalence and incidence of HIV infection among police officers (POs) and their suitability for HIV vaccine trials, a sub-study was carried out to determine the prevalence and pattern of skin diseases among HIV-infected POs and relate this to their immunodeficiency status. Consenting HIV-infected POs and their age and sex-matched HIV-negative officers were assessed for presence and type of skin diseases at their workplaces. A questionnaire was used for data collection. Immunodeficiency was measured by plasma CD4+ lymphocytes using flow cytometry. Between November 1998 and 31 December 2000, 716 POs were assessed. Overall HIV-1 prevalence was 17.7% (127/716). One hundred and ninety-one POs (26.7%) had at least one skin diagnosis. HIV-infected POs had significantly higher (41.7%) prevalence of skin diseases than HIV-uninfected POs (26.4%), P=0.002. Fungal infections were common in both HIV-infected and uninfected POs. Among the HIV infected, other common diseases were: Herpes zoster (11.8%); pruritic papular eruption (PPE) (7.1%); seborrheic dermatitis (5.5%); and Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) (1.6%). KS and PPE were associated with severe immunodeficiency, with mean absolute (percentage) CD4+ counts of 75.5 cells/μL (4.0%) and 71.7 cells/μL (4.8%), respectively. The values for herpes zoster and seborrheic dermatitis were 271.1 cells/μL (12.4%) and 206.3 cells/μL (11.3%), respectively. Skin diseases were common among HIV-infected POs. PPE and KS are markers of severe immunodeficiency due to HIV. PPE, herpes zoster and KS strongly suggest underlying HIV-related immunodeficiency and patients with these conditions should be counselled and tested for HIV.

BACKGROUND: Disseminated cutaneous Herpes Zoster is defined as the presence of more than 20 vesicles outside the area and adjacencies of the primarily affected dermatome, the involvement of more than 2 contiguous dermatomes or the presence of systemic disease. Its prevalence among immunodepressed patients is 10- 40%, but between immunocompetent patients only isolated cases are reported. We present a case of an elderly immunocompetent patient, with no pathological history, that developed HZCD. CASE REPORT: An 89 year old woman, with no medical background, presented with 10 day evolution itchy, painful blistering lesions on the inner right thigh and the proximal third of the ipsilateral leg. Days after the lesions disseminated and the patient received topical treatment, she couldn’t specify the treatment; after 3 days her general condition worsened, and she was brought to the Emergency Room. EVOlUTION: Patient was diagnosed with Disseminated Herpes Zoster. She had a good outcome, after completing the intravenous antiviral treatment and she was discharged with no complications, after 10 days of being hospitalized. CONClUSION: Diagnosis of disseminated herpes zoster should be considered in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. The outcome strongly depends on the promptness of the specific therapy instauration. KEYWORDS: HERPES ZOSTER, SKIN DISEASES, VESICULOBULLOUS, ANTIVIRAL AGENTS

Abstract: Viral skin infections are commonly found among people of all ages, however, they are more often in infants and children. Viral diseases may manifest in mucocutaneus areas either as the result of viral replication in the epidermis or as a secondary effect of viral replication elsewhere in the body. This study aimed to describe the pattern and incidences of viral skin infections. This was a retrospectives study using medical records of new patients with viral skin infection between the age of 0-14 years in Pediatric Dermatology Division at Dermatoveneneorology Clinic of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou General Hospital Manado from 2008 to 2012, based on the incidence, age group, gender, and type of viral skin infections. The results showed that the viral skin infection was the third highest rank of skin diseases in children with the incidence of 14.88%. Males (61.03 %) were more frequently affected than females (38.97%), with a ratio of 1.56 : 1. The most affected age group was 5-14 years old (77.33%). The most frequent found was moluscum contagiosum (52.59%) followed by verucca vulgaris (24.21%),  varicela (17.83%), herpes zoster (3.28%), and hand foot mouth disease (1.89%). Conclusion: In this study,  viral skin infections in males and in the age group of 5-14 years. Moluscum contagiosum was the most frequent found among all age groups, followed by verucca vulgaris, varicela, herpes zoster, and hand foot mouth disease. Keywords: infection, viral, children     Abstrak: Penyakit infeksi kulit karena virus dapat terjadi pada segala usia, tetapi lebih banyak pada anak-anak.
