Varicella zoster virus (VZV) generally causes self-limiting, two distinct clinical diseases with predominantly cutaneous manifestations and little mortality and morbidity. However, VZV could also cause pneumonitis with potentially lethal effects in otherwise healthy adults and immunocompromised individuals. In fact, this complication is regarded as one

The proteins of Varicella-Zoster-Virus
Medical Microbiology and Immunology, 1978[35S] methionine-labelled Varicella-Zoster-Virus (VZV) was partly purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Enveloped virus, checked by electron microscopy, was analyzed by high resolution polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A polypeptide pattern of at least 31 proteins could be identified on the fluorogram.

Varicella-Zoster Virus Vaccine
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1977THE RECENT REPORTS of Takahashi and his associates1-6in Japan on the effectiveness and innocuity of a live, attenuated varicella-zoster virus vaccine call for an examination of the nature and magnitude of the disease problem to be prevented and of the other factors on which a decision to use such a vaccine must be based.

Varicella-Zoster Virus Infections
Continuum, 2015This article describes the clinical features and laboratory and imaging abnormalities of the protean neurologic disorders produced by varicella-zoster virus (VZV) reactivation. Diseases include not only zoster, but also chronic pain (postherpetic neuralgia), meningoencephalitis and cerebellitis, single or multiple cranial nerve palsies (polyneuritis ...

Varicella-Zoster Virus Vaccine
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1978To the Editor.— In his discussion of the new Japanese chickenpox vaccine (238:1731, 1977), Albert B. Sabin, MD, provides a somewhat superficial analysis of the morbidity produced by varicella. The implication that the chickenpox vaccine may reduce the morbidity owing to zoster or the statement that the use of the vaccine will not produce more zoster ...

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is one of the eight herpesviruseso that infects humans. The virus causes two diseases, varicella (chickenpox) and zoster (shingles) (1). Varicella is primarily an illness of children, although as many as 5% of adults in the United States may be susceptible. Zoster is caused by reactivation of latent VZV infection in sensory

AbstractPurpose Patients with herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) are referred to ophthalmologists for prevention or treatment of its potential complications. Without prompt detection and treatment, HZO can lead to substantial visual disability. The purpose of this presentation is to summarize the typical signs and symptoms of anterior uveitis associated ...

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) belongs to the family Herpesviridae, based on morphological criteria, and is one of the eight human-pathogenic herpesviruses identified so far. The viral genome has an approximate length of 125,000 bp, making it the smallest of the human herpesviruses, and it encodes at least 70 viral genes.
