History of Herpes Zoster. 17. Documented chicken pox within 30 days prior to IC sign 18. Diagnosis of any other chronic infection (sepsis, invasive mycosis, histoplasmosis etc.), which may increase the risk of infectious adverse events. 19. Any acute infection or chronic infection flare within 30 days prior to informed consent sign, which may increase (according to the PI opinion) the risk of infectious adverse events. 20. Severe infections (required hospitalization, systemic antimicrobial/antifungal/antiviral treatment) within 6 months prior to date of IC sign. 21. Systemic antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral or anthelminthic medication within 2 months prior to fate of IC date. 22.
