Because of its ability to produce two clinically distinct disease entities (chickenpox and shingles), varicella zoster virus (VZV) is an unusual etiologic agent. Although in the past viral exanthems were mostly only of academic interest to the practitioner, the development of antiviral agents and the newly approved varicella (OKA) vaccine have ...

Varicella Zoster virus (VZV) is an alpha herpesvirus that causes chicken pox (varicella), usually in childhood. Following primary infection, VZV establishes a latent infection in the sensory nerve ganglia. Reactivation of VZV from the dorsal root ganglia, known as shingles or herpes zoster, may be seen decades later, usually in older people and ...

The complement fixing (C-F) antibody titers to varicella-zoster and herpes simplex virus in 80 cases of peripheral facial nerve paralysis were determined in association with the inflammatory findings in the increased antibody group. Of 22 patients with Ramsay-Hunt's syndrome, 18 (81%) showed more than eightfold increases in complement fixing antibody ...

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
