What a great team I get to be a part of! Congrats to you all!!
https://t.co/ZKUFjgRQFj Our lab members (the late Don Gilden, Maria Nagel, Randall Cohrs, Ravi Mahalingam, and Andrew Bubak) have been recognized as experts on herpes zoster worldwide by Expertscape! Great to get acknowledgement for decades of hard work!

Congratulations to Christy for her paper looking at how varicella virus affects adrenals! She is laying the foundation for a grant on virus effects on the HPA-axis in the clinical context of postviral syndromes.

Latent varicella zoster virus (VZV) has been detected in human adrenal glands, raising the possibility of virus-induced adrenal damage and dysfunction during primary infection or reactivation.

Mike and Anne Gershon show that 80% of achlasia patients have varicella zoster virus (VZV) DNA in saliva and 87% have late VZV transcripts in esophageal tissue, further expanding the multisystem diseases without rash produced by VZV. #VZV #achlasia

I wish we could give more definitive answers on treatment of smell loss for COVID-19, and I am glad by all the efforts I see in our chemical senses community.

We recently published a paper exploring the similarities between #VZVvasculopathy and #cerebralamyloidangiopathy. We found that #VZV was present in affected CAA arteries, building upon previous work that VZV induces amyloid deposition. https://t.co/cjy3BW65wz

To my #NeuroTwitter and other colleagues: this is critical and much asked information to share with our patients. @AANMember @StephenKeddie @mike_the_nerve @MariaNagelMD
Neurologists say direct causality has not been proven between neurologic complications & the #COVID19 #vaccine. They say the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the small potential risks for #GuillainBarrésyndrome, #Bellspalsy or other #neurologic disorders. https://t.co/sXZFA64Che

Given frequent questions from patients, physicians, and researchers on neurotropic viruses, I have resumed my Twitter account to provide current information on these topics.
