A pox is a type of disease, often caused by an animal virus, characterised by pockmarks. The term may be used (in an archaic sense) to refer to disease.

Pox, as a disease, may refer to:

Poxviruses
- Smallpox, an infectious disease unique to humans, caused by either of two virus variants, Variola major and Variola minor
- Monkeypox, an exotic infectious disease caused by the monkeypox virus
- Black pox, a symptom of smallpox that is caused by bleeding under the skin which makes the skin look charred or black. It was more common in teenagers [This is inconsistent with the entry on black pox]. This symptom usually indicates that a patient with smallpox is going to die
- Canarypox, an Avipoxvirus and etiologic agent of canarypox, a disease of wild and captive birds that can enter humans but is unable to survive or multiply in human cells.

- Plum pox, the most devastating viral disease of stone fruit from the genus Prunus

Herpes viruses
- Chickenpox, a highly contagious illness caused by primary infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV)
Syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease caused by the spirochetal bacteria Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum

In computing, it may refer to:

Pox: Save the People, a 2010 board game and mobile game
Pox: Save the Puppies, a 2013 mobile game
P-O-X, a 2001 handheld electronic game
PoxNora, a 2006 multiplayer online game that combines a collectible card game with a turn-based strategy game in a fantasy setting
Plain Old XML, basic XML, a computer data representation format

In other uses, pox or POX may refer to:

Pox (drink), a ceremonial drink common among the Maya, especially those in Chamula
POx, premature oxidation of wine
Partial oxidation, a chemical reaction

On the biodegradability of polyethylene glycol, polypeptoids and poly(2-oxazoline)s.

Ulbricht J1, Jordan R2, Luxenhofer R3.Author information 1Functional Polymer Materials, Chair for Chemical Technology of Materials Synthesis, University Würzburg, Röntgenring 11, 97070 Würzburg, Germany.2Professur für Makromolekulare Chemie, Department Chemie, Technische Universität Dresden, Mommsenstr. 4, 01069 Dresden, Germany.3Functional Polymer Materials, Chair for Chemical Technology of Materials Synthesis, University Würzburg, Röntgenring 11, 97070 Würzburg, Germany. Electronic address: robert.luxenhofer@uni-wuerzburg.de.AbstractDespite being the gold standard of hydrophilic biomaterials and well known sensitivity of polyethylene glycol (PEG) against oxidative degradation, very little information on the decomposition of PEG under biological oxidative stress can be found in the literature. Poly(2-oxazoline)s (POx) and polypeptoids (POI), two pseudo-polypeptides, have attracted some attention for the use as biomaterials and alternative to PEG with an altered stability against oxidative degradation. All three polymer families are supposedly non-biodegradable, which could be seen as one of their main disadvantages. Here, we present evidence that PEG, POx and POI are degradable by oxidative degradation under biologically relevant conditions. Transition metal catalysed generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to a pronounced time and concentration dependent degradation of all polymers investigated. While we do not envision oxidative degradation to be of relevance in the short-term usage of these polymers, mid- and long-term biodegradability in vivo appears feasible. Moreover, influence in ROS mediated signalling cascades may be one mechanism how synthetic polymers influence complex cellular processes.

Interaction of allergy history and antibodies to specific varicella-zoster virus proteins on glioma risk.

Lee ST1, Bracci P, Zhou M, Rice T, Wiencke J, Wrensch M, Wiemels J.Author information 1Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA; Department of Laboratory Medicine & Genetics, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.AbstractGlioma is the most common cancer of the central nervous system but with few confirmed risk factors. It has been inversely associated with chicken pox, shingles and seroreactivity to varicella virus (VZV), as well as to allergies and allergy-associated IgE. The role of antibody reactivity against individual VZV antigens has not been assessed. Ten VZV-related proteins, selected for high immunogenicity or known function, were synthesized and used as targets for antibody measurements in the sera of 143 glioma cases and 131 healthy controls selected from the San Francisco Bay Area Adult Glioma Study. Glioma cases exhibited significantly reduced seroreactivity compared to controls for six antigens, including proteins IE63 [odds ratio (OR) = 0.26, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.12-0.58, comparing lowest quartile to highest) and the VZV-unique protein ORF2p (OR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.21-0.96, lowest quartile to highest). When stratifying the study population into those with low and high self-reported allergy history, VZV protein seroreactivity was only associated inversely with glioma among individuals self-reporting more than two allergies. The data provide insight into both allergy and VZV effects on glioma: strong anti-VZV reactions in highly allergic individuals are associated with reduced occurrence of glioma. This result suggests a role for specificity in the anti-VZV immunity in brain tumor suppression for both individual VZV antigens and in the fine-tuning of the immune response by allergy. Anti-VZV reactions may also be a biomarker of effective CNS immunosurveillance owing to the tropism of the virus.

Interference from heterophilic antibodies in D-dimer assessment. A case report.

Lippi G1, Ippolito L, Tondelli MT, Favaloro EJ.Author information 1aLaboratory of Clinical Chemistry and Hematology bDepartment of Pediatrics, Academic Hospital of Parma, Parma, PR, Italy cDepartment of Haematology, Institute of Clinical Pathology and Medical Research (ICPMR), Westmead Hospital, Westmead, New South Wales, Australia.AbstractWe describe the case of a 3-year-old girl, admitted to the pediatric ward for three repeated episodes of severe migraine associated with vertigo, with onset 1 week after complete remission from an episode of chicken pox (i.e., varicella-zoster virus infection). All radiological and laboratory examinations were normal, except for a markedly elevated value of D-dimer (i.e. 8998 ng/ml; local reference range: < 243 ng/ml), measured with a commercial latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay. After physical and Doppler ultrasound examination, possible presence of thrombosis was ruled out, and the patient was discharged. In the following year, however, her plasma D-dimer values always remained frankly elevated, so that an analytical interference was suspected. A plasma sample was treated with a specific heterophilic antibodies blocking reagent and then assayed along with the untreated sample, with these showing a marked discrepancy of D-dimer values, that is 232 versus 2877 ng/ml. These results, highly indicative for the presence of heterophilic antibodies, are discussed in the light of the serious challenges that this type of analytical interference may pose on quality and reliability of D-dimer testing.
