Research and response to fighting disease

1. Burden of varicella in Latin America and the Caribbean: Findings from a systematic literature review

Arlant, L. H. F., Garcia, M. C. P., Aguero, M. L. A., Cashat, M., Parellada, C. I., & Wolfson, L. J. (2019). Burden of varicella in Latin America and the Caribbean: findings from a systematic literature review. BMC public health, 19(1), 1-18. DOI: 10.1186/s12889-019-6795-0.

I chose this article because it highlights the level of incidence across Latin America and Caribbean. These segments have no publicly funded childhood national immunizations and thus are at high risk of exposure to the disease. This article informs the audience about possible health complications and death that can occur among children exposed to chickenpox.

2. Chickenpox: Chickenpox is extremely contagious. Over 90% of unvaccinated people become infected.

Breuer, J., & Fifer, H. (2011). Chickenpox. BMJ clinical evidence, 2011, 0912. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3275319/

This study is important because it talks about the strategies for prevent chickenpox in healthy adults and children, the effects of the interventions and the safety and the effectiveness of the interventions. This source is valid and important to my research because knowing how to properly prevent infection by chickenpox or treat infected patients is extremely important.

3. Pathogenesis and current approaches to control of varicella-zoster virus infections.

Gershon, A. A., & Gershon, M. D. (2013). Pathogenesis and current approaches to control of varicella-zoster virus infections. Clinical microbiology reviews, 26(4), 728–743. https://doi.org/10.1128/CMR.00052-13

I chose this case study because it discusses how the virus is neurotropic and has a lifetime risk of reactivation which can be prevented by a vaccination. However the available vaccines have the potential to activate and cause clinical disease. It guides the development of an appropriate study in efforts to find a potential vaccine. This study is important because it could advance the vaccine effectiveness and reduce the side effects of the existing vaccine.

4. Global impact of varicella vaccination programs

Varela, F. H., Pinto, L. A., & Scotta, M. C. (2019). Global impact of varicella vaccination programs. Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 15(3), 645-657. DOI: 10.1080/21645515.2018.1546525

The reason behind the selection of the article is because it discusses the rational and benefits of vaccination programs. It informs and educates the readers about the need to vaccinate their children. Thus article is credible and valid because it offers quality information that enables individuals to make excellent decisions.

5. A rare but important complication of Varicella. Varicella could be associated with infrequent but serious complications.

Vital, L., Vieira, L., Nunes, B., Raposo, F., Veludo, V., & Pinho, A. (2020). Pediatric Pyomyositis: A Rare but Important Complication of Varicella. Case reports in orthopedics, 2020, 3896264. https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/3896264

I chose this article because it assesses how varicella can translate into a more serious disease. This study looks at how to approach acute cases of the disease. This study is important because the awareness of musculoskeletal complications is vital to any physician who assesses these children to recognize alerting symptoms which will trigger an alert attitude to deal with the patient accordingly.
