This study observed that in varicella, the varicella-zoster virus spreads to dermal endothelial cells before reaching keratinocytes, whereas in herpes zoster, it first involves cutaneous nerves and pilosebaceous units.

This case report describes a 16-year-old liver transplant patient with previous chicken pox infection experiencing disseminated varicella zoster virus infection with pneumonia, highlighting the importance of early acyclovir treatment in immunocompromised patients.

This case report describes a 26-year-old woman with an uncommon presentation of varicella zoster virus interstitial keratitis misdiagnosed as corneal intraepithelial neoplasia; the correct identification using diagnostic tools such as AS-OCT prevented unnecessary surgical interventions and allowed for effective antiviral treatment.

In this case study, a nine-year-old boy with alopecia universalis following severe chickenpox showed complete hair regrowth after treatment with tofacitinib, suggesting the drug's potential in managing varicella-zoster virus-induced alopecia by modulating immune responses.

This study suggests that varicella-zoster virus infection in skin cells may play a role in segmental vitiligo's progression and depigmentation.

This case report highlights the successful treatment of Kaposi varicelliform eruption in a pemphigus vulgaris patient using intravenous acyclovir, alongside antibiotics, resulting in healing of skin lesions with scarring.

This case report discusses a 67-year-old male with pre-existing pemphigus vulgaris who showed nearly 90% resolution of his skin lesions after two weeks of acyclovir treatment, accompanied by continued use of systemic steroids.

This case report highlights the importance of considering eosinophilic pustular folliculitis in adolescent patients with persistent papulopustular eruptions to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure effective anti-inflammatory treatment.

This report describes the first known case of Kaposi's varicelliform eruption occurring after a follicular unit extraction procedure, possibly linked to surgical trauma and post-surgical steroid use.

This case report describes a child with acrodermatitis enteropathica and normal zinc levels who developed Kaposi's varicelliform eruption, highlighting the role of novel SLC39A4 variants and the importance of early zinc supplementation and antiviral prophylaxis.

This case report from the study described a 62-year-old woman with pityriasis rubra pilaris and Kaposi's varicelliform eruption, whose skin condition improved significantly with isotretinoin treatment over 43 weeks.

This case report in a child suggests that lichen planus pemphigoides may represent a heterogeneous group of disorders, potentially triggered by conditions like varicella.

This case report suggests that human dermal papillae conditioned media may accelerate wound healing in congenital aplasia cutis due to varicella infection.

This study found that livedoid and acro-ischemic skin manifestations were significantly associated with severe COVID-19, while chilblains-like eruptions appeared in less severe cases.

This review discusses the role of skin manifestations as early markers and prognostic indicators of HIV infection in children but reports no new clinical results.

A man's chest hair turned white after a shingles infection, possibly due to virus-damaged pigment cells.

This chapter reviews common drug-related and systemic disorder-induced alopecias, focusing on their epidemiology, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment, but reports no new findings.

This review discusses the diverse range of skin manifestations in children with COVID-19 and highlights the complexity of clinical assessment due to varied presentations; it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, white females with Ludwig I female pattern hair loss had significantly higher hair density on the occipital scalp area, while Asian females had significantly thicker hair diameters in both frontal and occipital areas.

In this pilot study, both tofacitinib and methotrexate improved alopecia areata outcomes, but tofacitinib showed greater efficacy in achieving significant SALT score improvement after 6 months, although the difference was not statistically significant.

In this study, a possible case of Wolf’s isotopic response was observed, where a 72-year-old woman developed superficial basal cell carcinoma at a prior herpes zoster site on her scalp, possibly due to altered local immunity from the zoster episode.

This study found that both tofacitinib and methotrexate effectively reduced hair loss and psychological distress in patients with moderate-to-severe alopecia areata, but tofacitinib showed much greater efficacy. Both treatments had similar safety profiles, with no serious adverse effects reported.

This case study documents a rare concurrent presentation of herpes zoster and alopecia areata in a 24-year-old male, highlighting transient alopecia as a cutaneous complication of varicella zoster infection and suggesting further research into the virus's effect on dormant hair follicles.

In a randomized phase 2b clinical trial, oral ritlecitinib significantly reduced facial vitiligo area scores in patients with active nonsegmental vitiligo compared to placebo, with a favorable safety profile observed over 48 weeks, suggesting its potential as an effective treatment option (Ezzedine et al., 2023).

This article discusses the impact of COVID-19 on skin health, highlighting various cutaneous manifestations and the need for dermatologists to adapt their practices during the pandemic, but it reports no new results.

COVID-19 can cause various skin issues, including rashes and 'COVID toes', and may worsen autoimmune diseases or affect men with baldness more severely.

This review discusses the cutaneous manifestations associated with HIV infection, highlighting that these skin conditions often present atypically and are more severe compared to those in non-HIV-infected individuals; it reports no new clinical findings.

This correspondence presents no new clinical findings about COVID-19 dermatological manifestations but references the Mexican Academy of Dermatology's COVID-19 registry.

Various skin conditions can be treated effectively with different methods, such as discontinuing certain drugs, using specific vaccines, applying creams, and changing lifestyle habits like smoking and drinking.

The document concludes that various treatments for skin conditions are effective, but some require further research, and certain factors like gender and lifestyle can influence disease outcomes.
