For now, researchers will continue to study the relationship between stroke and viral infections.
Doctors from the University of Colorado believe that reactivated varicella-zoster virus, which can cause shingles, can increase the risk of stroke. The study was published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases.
It has been mentioned that in some cases, after suffering chicken pox, the virus remains in the human body. And when he woke up, the man had shingles. At the same time, during the year, the human body is at a higher risk of stroke.
This was discovered after the team took blood samples from ten healthy volunteers and thirteen with shingles.
“The virus induces the production of exosomes. These are microscopic extracellular vesicles that are secreted in the intercellular space of the cells of various tissues and organs. They are a mechanism for coordination and mutual assistance of the body’s cells that carry blood-clotting proteins. Moreover, their number increases even after the disease is cured,” said the scientists.
We remind, earlier the Ukrainian pediatrician, TV presenter Evgeny Komarovsky said how to reduce the risk of stroke at a young age.
