Abstract:
Herpes zoster is a viral infection caused due to the reactivation of varicella-zoster virus that is localized to a single dermatome unilaterally. The factors responsible for its reactivation are increasing age, immunosuppressive drugs, malignancies, chronic liver and renal diseases. Herpes zoster was found to be one of the cutaneous manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Various skin manifestations post-vaccination are being reported, which include injection site urticarial, maculopapular rash and positive dermographism. We report a patient of herpes zoster triggered by the viral vector (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19) coronavirus vaccine (recombinant).

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
