Exocytosis of Varicella-Zoster Virus Virions Involves a Convergence of Endosomal and Autophagy Pathways

Journal of Virology, 2016
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is an extremely cell-associated herpesvirus with limited egress of viral particles. The induction of autophagy in VZV-infected monolayers is easily detectable; inhibition of autophagy leads to decreased VZV glycoprotein ...

Newly identified properties of known pharmaceuticals and myxobacterial small molecules revealed by screening for autophagy modulators

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Autophagy is a cellular degradation process involved in, for example, immune responses to pathogens and neurodegeneration. To identify modulators of autophagy, we developed a microscopy‐based screening assay and identified previously unknown autophagy‐modulating activities in known drugs and natural products from myxobacteria and fungi.

An adult co-presented with varicella and herpes zoster caused by varicella zoster virus genotype J, China: a case report

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Varicella zoster virus (VZV) causes varicella primarily in childhood, and some rare adults also report varicella. Herpes zoster mainly occurs in adults by endogenous reactivation of latent VZV.

Fatal Chronic Varicella‐Zoster Viral Infection in a Young Man With Chediak–Higashi Syndrome

Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chediak–Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a rare autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency characterized by partial oculocutaneous albinism, neurologic involvement, and a predisposition to severe infections. Patients are particularly susceptible to developing hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), which significantly worsens prognosis. We report

Superior Orbital Fissure Syndrome and Ophthalmoplegia Caused by Varicella Zoster Virus with No Skin Eruption in a Patient Treated with Tumor Necrosis Alpha Inhibitor

Case Reports in Neurology, 2015
Varicella zoster virus lies dormant in the dorsal root ganglia after symptomatic chicken pox infection, usually in childhood. If the virus reactivates in the trigeminal ganglia, it can cause varicella zoster ophthalmicus, which can have severe ocular ...
