Polyspecific, antiviral immune response distinguishes multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica [PDF]

, 1887
Background: A polyspecific, intrathecal humoral immune response against neurotropic viruses such as measles, rubella and varicella zoster virus (MRZ reaction, MRZR) is present in 80--100% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), but has not to date been

Herpes zoster duplex bilateralis symmetricus in an immunocompromised patient with recent varicella infection

IDCases, 2021
A single varicella infection usually causes lifelong immunity, so recurrent varicella infection is considered rare. Reactivation of the virus as herpes zoster usually develops after a latent period.

Regulation of alphaherpesvirus infections by the ICP0 family of proteins [PDF]

, 2013
Immediate-early protein ICP0 of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is important for the regulation of lytic and latent viral infection. Like the related proteins expressed by other alphaherpesviruses, ICP0 has a zinc-stabilized RING finger domain that ...

Varicella zoster virus vaccines: an update

ImmunoTargets and Therapy, 2019
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is the etiological agent of varicella, a highly infectious, self-limiting disease with serious complications. The decline in cell-mediated immunity (CMI) that occurs with aging or immunodepression causes a reactivation of the

Current In Vivo Models of Varicella-Zoster Virus Neurotropism

Viruses, 2019
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), an exclusively human herpesvirus, causes chickenpox and establishes a latent infection in ganglia, reactivating decades later to produce zoster and associated neurological complications.

Varicella Zoster Virus Infection and Pregnancy: An Optimal Management Approach

Pathogens
Varicella-zoster virus is an α-herpes virus with a double-stranded DNA genome, which causes two main clinical pictures: varicella or chickenpox and herpes zoster. Chickenpox is the primary infection, predominantly affecting children, and it presents with

Herpes zoster during the COVID-19 pandemic

Przegląd Dermatologiczny, 2022
Varicella-zoster virus leads to primary infection, i.e. varicella, and remains in latent form in sensory dorsal root ganglion cells. Further replication and manifestation of skin lesions characteristic for herpes zoster may occur many years later ...
