Congratulations to @OlivierSupplisson for his beautiful #spatiotemporal analysis of the #seroprevalence of #herpesviruses (#HSV1, #HSV2, #VZV, #EBV, and #CMV in #france

This is massive #data from #CERBA (>300,000 serologies) and beautiful #latent #gaussian #Models in #R-INLA!

Steroids are very effective immunomodulating drugs. BUT they do increase the risk of some infections.

This is a nice review describing what infections steroids make you susceptible. The immunology affected is discussed but harder to pin down, as likely context dependent.

"Cytomegalovirus lies dormant in most US adults and is the leading infectious cause of birth defects, but few have heard of it

(...) CMV – unlike the other viruses in its family – can pass from mother to fetus during pregnancy.

Congenital CMV, or cCMV, is the most common infection before birth and the leading infectious cause of birth defects. About one in every 200 infants – typically 20,000 to 30,000 infants in the U.S. – are born with cCMV per year, and nearly 20% of them have permanent neurodevelopmental disabilities such as hearing loss or cerebral palsy. Every year, more children are affected by cCMV than several familiar childhood conditions like Down syndrome and fetal alcohol syndrome. Compared to later stages of pregnancy, CMV infection in the first trimester carries the highest risk of stillbirth or severe effects when the immune system and organs like the brain are developing."

The ConversationCytomegalovirus lies dormant in most US adults and is the leading infectious cause of birth defects, but few have heard of itAlthough testing for CMV during pregnancy isn’t routine and there isn’t universal screening for infants, there are steps pregnant people can take to protect themselves and their newborns.

"Do you suffer from #anxiety? Maybe it comes from a previous exposure to #cytomegalovirus. Mostly #asymptomatic, cytomegalovirus is a beta-herpes virus which once it has infected you, again stays for life. ... Individuals with higher #CMV-specific #antibody loads were more likely to be #depressed, #anxious, and suffer more overall #psychological #morbidity."
