Herpes zoster después de la esplenectomía. Un estudio de pacientes sin cáncer maligno
JAMA
|January 4, 1980
Resumen
La esplenectomía para afecciones no malignas no aumenta el riesgo de herpes zoster. Sin embargo, la extirpación del bazo puede contribuir a la extensa diseminación cutánea de la infección.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Inmunología Inmunología.
- Enfermedades infecciosas Enfermedades infecciosas.
- Oncología Quirúrgica Oncología Quirúrgica.
Sus antecedentes:
- La esplenectomía, la extirpación quirúrgica del bazo, se realiza para diversas afecciones, incluidos traumas, complicaciones quirúrgicas y trastornos hematológicos.
- El bazo juega un papel crucial en el sistema inmunológico, particularmente en el filtrado de la sangre y la lucha contra ciertas infecciones bacterianas y virales.
- Se sabe que los pacientes post-esplenectomía tienen un mayor riesgo de ciertas infecciones, a menudo denominadas infecciones abrumadoras post-esplenectomía (OPSI).

01:28Herpes
Herpes simplex type 1 (HSV‑1) is a widespread pathogen responsible for orolabial lesions. It is an enveloped, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) virus belonging to the family Herpesviridae. Once the virus infects a host cell, its double‑stranded DNA genome is delivered into the nucleus, where a coordinated cascade of immediate‑early, early, and late gene expression directs viral DNA replication, structural protein synthesis, and virion assembly. After primary infection of epithelial cells, HSV-1...
01:20Chickenpox
Chickenpox is an acute, highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the Herpesviridae family. Its transmission occurs primarily through the inhalation of respiratory droplets or direct contact with vesicular fluid from skin lesions. The incubation period typically ranges from 10 to 21 days, during which the virus replicates and disseminates through sequential phases within the host. Although generally self-limiting in children,...
01:23Genital Herpes
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection primarily caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), though herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is increasingly implicated in genital infections, particularly among younger populations. Transmission occurs mainly through sexual contact, with asymptomatic viral shedding serving as a major route of spread. This characteristic makes HSV-2 difficult to control at a population level, as individuals may unknowingly transmit the virus even in the...
