“#Herpes infection possibly linked to COVID-19 vaccine<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Herpes infections may be a side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine, experts have revealed.<\/p>\n

Scientists in Israel identified six cases in a new study of patients developing a skin rash known as herpes zoster after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, according to a study in the Rheumatology journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Herpes zoster start off as a small, itchy skin rash, but if left untreated it could cause nerve damage and pain, the Jerusalem Post reported.<\/p>\n

This can include a prolonged burning sensation on the skin even after the rash disapp<\/a>ears.<\/p>\n

Researchers from Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center and\u00a0Carmel Medical Center in Haifa found those with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases\u00a0higher risk of developing the herpes infection.<\/p>\n

Out of 491 patients, 1.2% or six people experienced the infection, researchers said.<\/p>\n

The six patients all have mild cases of autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases and were young, though the infection is general<\/a>ly more common in those over the age of 50.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why we reported on it,\u201d Dr. Victoria Furer, who is the lead author, told the outlet.<\/p>\n

Five of them developed herpes zoster after the first dose and the sixth got it after the second.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s still unclear whether the vaccine caused the cases of herpes zoster. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot say the vaccine is the cause at this point,\u201d Furer told the outlet. \u201cWe can say it might be a trigger in some patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furer said that further research is necessary and one implication could be that patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases be encouraged to get vaccinated against herpes zosters before getting their COVID-19 shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should not scare people,\u201d she told the Jerusalem Post. \u201cThe overall message is to get vaccinated. It is just important to be aware.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
