Abstract

VARICELLA and herpes zoster are diseases with very different clinical manifestations and age distribution. However, the causative agents of the two syndromes have been shown to be indistinguishable morphologically, antigenically and biologically.1 2 3 The basis for the great difference in response to the same virus has not been established although there has been much speculation. The prevalent hypothesis4 is that varicella is the usual response to primary infection whereas herpes zoster is the manifestation of a recrudescent infection in a person with residual antibody persisting from previous varicella. This concept is supported by the observation that varicella occurs principally in children . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
