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

Varicella Zoster Infection in Infancy (A Very Rare Case Report) [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Neonatology, 2020
Background: Herpes zoster occurs due to reactivation of varicella zoster-virus (VZV) that is latent in dorsal root ganglion cells after primary varicella infection. It can occur in any age but is very rare during infancy.

Varicella-Zoster viruses associated with post-herpetic neuralgia induce sodium current density increases in the ND7-23 Nav-1.8 neuroblastoma cell line [PDF]

, 2013
Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is the most significant complication of herpes zoster caused by reactivation of latent Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV). We undertook a heterologous infection in vitro study to determine whether PHN-associated VZV isolates ...

Entrapment of viral capsids in nuclear PML cages is an intrinsic antiviral host defense against varicella-zoster virus. [PDF]

, 2011
The herpesviruses, like most other DNA viruses, replicate in the host cell nucleus. Subnuclear domains known as promyelocytic leukemia protein nuclear bodies (PML-NBs), or ND10 bodies, have been implicated in restricting early herpesviral gene expression.

Disseminated herpes zoster ophthalmicus in an immunocompetent 8-year old boy

Clinics and Practice, 2013
Varicella results from a primary infection with the varicella virus while herpes zoster is caused by a reactivation of a latent infection. Dissemination of herpes zoster is uncommon in immunocompetent individuals. Reports of disseminated herpes zoster in
