Article of the Month: Herpesviruses reactivation following COVID-19 vaccination: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The reactivation of herpesviruses (HHV) in COVID-19 patients is evident in the literature. Several reports have been published regarding the reactivation of these viruses (HSV, VZV, EBV, and CMV) among those who got COVID-19 vaccines. This study aimed to review the current evidence to assess whether HHVs reactivation has any association with the prior administration of COVID-19 vaccines.

Aims and scope

European Journal of Medical Research publishes translational, preclinical and clinical research of international interest across all medical disciplines, enabling clinicians and other researchers to learn about developments and innovations within these disciplines and across the boundaries between disciplines. The journal also has a special focus on internal medicine, surgery, neurology, infectious diseases and intensive care medicine.

European Journal of Medical Research publishes high quality research and reviews and aims to ensure that the results of all well-conducted research are published, regardless of their outcome. 

Celebrating 10 Years at BMC!
