This chapter focuses on the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a member of the herpesviruses family and the etiologic agent of varicella and varicella-zoster. Varicella is the exanthem caused by primary infection with VZV, and shingles is the clinical syndrome of segmental, unilateral exanthem and neuralgic pain due to reactivation of latent VZV infection ...

Incubation of Varicella-Zoster Virus
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1984To the Editor.—The report by Gustafson et al1reemphasized the perplexing problems that varicella-zoster virus (VZV) create for infection containment within hospitals, particularly the risk posed by medical care providers with community-acquired varicella.

Varicella—zoster virus (VZV) is the causative agent of varicella, or “chickenpox,” and herpes zoster, or “shingles.” The virus was isolated approximately 40 years ago by Weller, who later recognized through laboratory and epidemiologic investigations that this virus caused both clinical syndromes.

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

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

Varicella-zoster virus (Herpesvirus varicellae), commonly abbreviated to “V-Z virus” or “VZV,” is the etiological agent of two diseases of man, varicella and herpes zoster. Varicella (chickenpox) is a ubiquitous, contagious, generalized exanthematous disease of seasonally epidemic propensities that follows primary exposure of a susceptible person, most

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a ubiquitous neurotropic herpesvirus, infects virtually all humans. Primary infection usually causes chickenpox (varicella), after which the virus becomes latent in ganglia along the entire neuraxis. Decades later, a declining VZV-specific cell-mediated immunity allows virus to reactivate, resulting in shingles (zoster ...
