Transmission of varicella to a gravida via close

contacts immunized with varicella-zoster vaccine. A

case report.

Huang W, Hussey M, Michel F

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of

California, Irvine,

USA.

[Medline record in process]

BACKGROUND: Varicella-zoster is a highly contagious DNA

virus, transmitted

by direct contact and respiratory droplets. An

attenuated live-virus vaccine

has recently become available and is of value for

susceptible, nonimmunized

people. As with other attenuated vaccines, such as

measles, mumps and

rubella virus, there is no evidence(really?,no evidence

of transmission?) of transmission by those immunized,

and

it is generally recognized that these vaccines can be

given to the close

contacts of pregnant women.

CASE: A 32-year-old woman at 39 weeks of gestation

presented with

generalized pruritic vesicles and pustules. Diagnosis

of primary varicella

infection was made and confirmed by serologic studies.

The patient denied

recent or past exposure. The only significant history

that the patient could

recall was her exposure to her two children, who were

vaccinated with the

varicella-zoster vaccine eight days prior to her

admission but were

asymptomatic.

CONCLUSION: This is the first report of a pregnant

woman contracting the primary varicella infection from

exposure to close contacts vaccinated with the

varicella vaccine.

This is NOT the first report of a pregnant woman

contracting CP via the vaccinated.....

Pediatr 1997 Jul;131(1 Pt 1):151-4

Transmission of varicella-vaccine virus from a healthy

12-month-old child to his pregnant mother.

Salzman MB, Sharrar RG, Steinberg S, LaRussa P

Department of Pediatrics, University of California, Los

Angeles School of Medicine, USA.

A 12-month-old healthy boy had approximately 30

vesicular skin lesions 24 days after receiving

varicella vaccine. Sixteen days later his pregnant

mother had 100 lesions. Varicella-vaccine virus was

identified by polymerase chain reaction in the

vesicular lesions of the mother. After an elective

abortion, no virus was detected in the fetal tissue.

This case documents transmission of varicella-vaccine

virus from a healthy 12-month-old infant to his

pregnant mother.

It may not be as safe as previously thought for

seronegative gravidas to be in close contact with

people vaccinated with the

varicella vaccine.

I found this article:

A Nov. 15/99 Toronto Star article " Charges expected in tainted blood

scandal " states, " In France, former prime minister t Fabius and former

ministers Edmond Herve and Georgina Dufoix were charged with manslaughter in

that country's tainted blood scandal. Only Herve was convicted, although he

was given no penalty. " It doesn't say whether or not they ever headed the

WHO.

Rita

Does anyone have the name of the french minister that allowed the

contamination of their blood supply and who now heads the WHO?

Hi,

I also have raynards. It was so severe a year ago that It would wake me

every 45 minutes and I would have to swing my arms around like I am pitching

a baseball and eat hot peppers and go to sleep and back up in 45 minutes. It

not only makes you cold when it is bad it hurts and shoots pain up your arms.

I did chelation and this really helps. I did 30 treatments. Also there is

a drug called piracetam you can get off the Internet that dilates the blood

vessels. It works....You have to take a lot of the pills. It is not a drug

than can hurt you if you take to much nothing will happen. They have been

prescribing it in Poland for about 7 years now for raynards. I have a close

friend with the same problems and he told me about it He is from Poland and

has MCTD. Also niacin and 1200 mgs or more of magnesium, and b100. I also

found out as the disease improves so does the raynards. By doing the AP.

When I cheat on my diet and don't juice it bothers me a lot. I find that as

the immune system improves so does the raynards. These DR's, I can't believe

they would amputate her hands. I have it in my feet too. There is ways to

overcome. Blessings to this lady and prayers. Judy Duncan

[Guest guest]

I just want to clarify that the lister who wrote about her sister is a

lister on the Newf list. I have no idea what other health problems this

woman may have. Raynaud's and amputation because of a 15 day attack are all

I know.

Thank you.

[Guest guest]

had a finger tip removed when she asked that the nerve be severed to

stop the reaction.

I can reach her to respond.

Does she smoke?? Drink Coffee?? Follow the rules for avoiding the spasm??

Was she on any meds?? Is she on the protocol??

Chelation would be my choice first before amputation.

, I have ready recently something they are doing for Reynauds that is

promising and it could have been from Dr. Mirkin. I'll look in my reports.

Meanwhile maybe someone has some information for you. That is just

terrible to think of amputation.

All,

As a part of my wife's condition of Systemic Sclerosis, she also had what I

considered to be sever Raynaud's. Her fingers were curled scleroderma, but

more than that was the extreme sensitivity to heat, cold and touch. In

terms of what can help, again I offer the following advice: GET TESTED for

Mycoplasma infections! Then, if positive, get treated with long-term

antibiotics. Also, as a topical solution to aid in the pain, my wife uses a

DMSO/MSM gel, which provides excellent short to medium term relief.

This was on Medscape yesterday.

<<Question

A 34-year-old woman with a history of scleroderma and Raynaud's phenomenon

presents with vasospastic painful crisis in both hands. She is taking calcium

channel blockers and has lost 3 fingers from prior crises. What would be

appropriate therapy? How good is iloprost for this emergency?

Anastacia Maldonado, MD

Response

from Terkeltaub, MD, 11/07/00

Acute peripheral ischemic crisis is a devastating clinical problem in

scleroderma. Rapid and aggressive therapy is the best strategy.[1,2]

Hospitalization is helpful here, so that the patient can be kept warm and

away from stress, and the digits rested and well-protected from trauma.

Analgesia is essential, but because opiates can vasoconstrict, local chemical

sympathectomy may be useful for both pain relief and vasodilation.

Typically, lidocaine or bupivacaine (without epinephrine) is administered in

a wrist or digital block and, if effective, can be readministered over 48

hours and possibly obviate the need for a surgical digital sympathectomy.

Early on, the first line of vasodilator therapy should include a

sustained-release calcium channel blocker such as amlodipine or nifedipine.

The role of short-acting vasodilators such as phentolamine or nitroprusside

is unclear. Moreover, overly aggressive vasodilator therapy may endanger

major organ perfusion, or it may worsen digital ischemia by diverting blood

flow to regions with vessels more capable of vasodilation.

If available to you, intravenous prostaglandins such as iloprost can be

useful as a second-line for reversal of digital ischemia.[3] Antiplatelet

therapy (beyond aspirin) has not been well studied in this setting but is a

rational adjunctive approach. Anticoagulation or thrombolytic therapy might

be of value in refractory cases,[1,2,4] but these measures have not received

adequate investigation to date.

Subject: reynauds

Priority: normal

The US Military worked out a treatment regime for this. (Wouldnt

want the

grunts to be unable to shoot folk or anything.....). It is aimed at

convincing the sympathetic nervous system that htere is no need

to shut

off the peripheral circulation just cos it's a bit chilly out.

Start in a nice warm place with nice warm hands. Fill a bucket with

water at

44C (and keep a kettle on hand to keep the temperature up). Dont

worrry too

much about the measurement - 44 is about the hottest you can

keep your hands

in.

Go to a cold place (at least 10C colder than the warm place -

preferably much

colder..) and sit for 1/2hr with your hands/feet in the water. Dont

worry about the cold, you'll absorb so much heat thru your hands

as to

be sweating at the end. Keep a kettle close by to top up the water

to the

hottest you can bear. I just open up teh window and sit and watch

telly in my underpants - doesnt waste much time that way.

Go back into the warm place, dry hands thoroughly and keep em

warm.

Do this every day for a month.

Results? After frostbite years ago, I have had bad problems with

circulation.

I have been doing this for a week, and my hands have only gone

blue once. I

have also spent a day outside in 40F with no circulation cutoff when

normally

my hands go blue below 60F - and this after 2 days of treatment!

Some people need to renew the treatment every year, others every

few years,

others never.

We'll see how effective it is after the full month, but so far, it looks very

promising.

------------------------

OK, folks, that was last year. It was a bit late in spring, so the results

seemed promising, but no great shakes. Now, it's cold enough that I should

have had blue hands adn a good crop of chilblains for a couple of months.

But no circulation problems at all!!!!!! My hands are like a human's........No

circulation cutoffs, no chilblains, adn I've been much less careful about

keeping them warm too!

So it looks like last years treatment DID work. And very effectively. It

is wonderful to be able to ignore my hands instead of running my life

round em.

-------------------------

Quick circulation fix? Dampen your hands adn rub in ginger powder.

Cayenne pepper works too, but not quite as well.

Sticking three shakes of ginger in every cup of coffee you drink and lacing

all your food with cayenne seems to work well too. Takes a couple of weeks to

build up........... Rubbing your hands with hot sports warm-up embrocation

stimulates the circulation unless you have skin like an elephant, like me

-------------------------------

Counterintuitively I find I can call on an emergency reaction to cold water -

if I stick my hands in water so cold it's almost iced, till they are agony,

they will flush red as I dry em off, and stay like that for quite a while. I

went walking last winter in -15C of windchill and no gloves. My hands turn

blue normally at <15C. As soon as I went out, I rubbed em in ice and provoked

the flush. I then walked around for two hours with my hands out in the wind to

see what happened. Nothing happened!!!!! Normally I'd have had a full crop of

ten chilblains inside a few minutes! Most odd.

Also the circulation can be restored by smacking the backs of your hands, but

this has to be so har as to make you feel sick

Vapour barrier gloves (plastic gloves given free for deisel customers at fuel

stations) >>>next to the skin<<<<, as liners under your normal gloves are

invaluable too by preventing evaporation of insensible perspiration.

If you can't move to a warm climate ....

1. KEEP WARM! Wear whatever it takes to keep

your body temperature up - hats, warm vests, and

gloves or mittens and long sleeved sweaters

minimize contact with cold objects

2. If you smoke, stop! Tobacco is a vasoconstrictor

of amazing strength

3. Ask the dr about vasodilators ... Niacin, one of the B

Hi group,

I had a friend who was a mailman in Salt Lake City. Every winter

he had to trudge around in the snow for hours to deliver the mail and his

feet would freeze. His solution was to rub his toes with vasoline

and sprinkle them with cayenne pepper before he put his socks on.

He said it worked like a miracle.

Creighton, you mentioned your wife HAD severe reynauds. Is she getting better

now? When talking to Dr. Sinnott last week, we were talking about his patients

in remission and him watching the positive changes happening over the time of

treatment. He talked about the mouth opening more and more and more to where

there was once again an ability to open wide. And he mentioned that the

crippling in the fingers was the last thing and most definitely the most

difficult to turn around. It was so uplifting to hear his excitement as he

described these very ill patients becoming better in front of his eyes.

She has been on IV lincomyacin (sp?) antibiotic for over 6 months now, and

IV DMSO/MSM for approximately 2 months now. The greatest improvement

actually occurred within the first 2 months. Since then, the improvement

has been slower, but is still working.

That is wonderful news, Creighton. Don't lurk too much as we need you as much

as you need us. This is a long process and attitude and perseverence along with

support are just essentials in the process. Bless you for being such a good

support system. I have the same and I am so thankful.

As I have posted over the past couple of days, I am currently out of our home

while demo and repairs are taking place. Thank god for friends, as it was a

builder/roofer friend of ours who came to the rescue offering to do much of

the work at a very minimal cost whereby saving us tens of thousands of dollars.

He has had some experience with mold, and moldy roofs, but once he saw the

contamination of our home he was absolutely shocked and claimed he had never

personally seen anything so massive. I think this almost turned into a crusade

for him to help us make our home " well " , as he also saw the devastation this

has taken on my health,

Anyhow, he has also contacted any experts that he knew or could get a hold of

in the field of building and renovation to seek additional solutions. He has

repeatedly learned of a product used by many remediation guys in the area

that he is suggesting for use in our home " during the

renovation/repair/remediation process " and that is why I am seeking such a quick

answer - they would like

to bring this in right away.

The product is called Concrobium Mold Control and claims " Concrobium Mold

Control is a revolutionary new EPA-registered specialty mold product that is

approved for both mold remediation and mold prevention. " It also claims that it

does not contain any toxic substances like bleach, etc. Upon a brief search I

have not turned up any negative articles or issues but wanted to touch base

with you all to find out if anyone has any experiences good or bad with this

product.

There is a website to view more information at: www.concrobium.com

Thanks for any input you can offer.

Absolutely , it is VERY stimulating for some people, me included but

then even my vitamins

stimulate me. Ha, that's just me. ALSO Coconut Water stimulates me to a

lesser degree but then it has Glutamic Acid in it which is a Major

Excitatory Neurotransmitter.

So my advice is (since the same thing happened to me) take all the VCO you

want and trying taking it earlier and earlier in the day till you find WHERE

YOUR LIMIT IS.

It used to be that I couldn't take it after LUNCH TIME, if I wanted to sleep

at night but now I can take it as late as 3:30 pm

I love it and it has so many health benefits, that I would try and figure

something out, so your wife can take it and still sleep okay.

Dr. Fife was very surprised when I told him it kept me awake because he

hears how much it HELPS people to sleep, but I have since learned that I

have damage to my intestines from Celiac Disease which is starting to heal

(after one year) and I think THAT IS WHY I am now able to tolerate it

better.

Hope this helps .

Hmmm-When I remember, I take my nighttime VCO in some warm almond milk w/ a

little Stevia. I think it helps me sleep--I'll have to start writing down when I

take it at night and how I sleep afterwards.. I do know melatonin does nothing

for me.

Sounds very normal. This swallow test is to verify that there are no leaks. Then

she can drink more things.

The spasms post surgery do die down for most people. My worst ones were around

day 4, lingering through day 14. I had my HM July 5 and feel great now. Get her

to walk around as soon as they say you can. It is painful but best way to get

recovery going. I wanted to hit my husband every time he made walk around but it

was very helpful.
