A previously healthy 75-year-old man complained of persistent fever, headache, nausea, mild gait disturbance, memory disorder, and sporadic vesicular skin lesions. Viral meningoencephalitis was diagnosed, based on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. Intensive CSF analysis suggested that the
The varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a very rare cause of gastritis. Gastritis caused by VZV can be presented as abdominal pain, vomiting. Most of the cases reported with varicella gastritis in the literature are immunocompromised patients with various kinds of malignancy, and most of these patients
Nausea and vomiting have not been clearly associated with parenteral acyclovir. We report a pediatric patient who developed nausea and vomiting apparently associated with intravenous acyclovir therapy. The child received acyclovir (1500 mg/m2/d) for treatment of recurrent varicella zoster with
A 2-year-old boy, with the primary difficulties of nausea and vomiting, developed a staggering gait and dysarthria 10 days after varicella vaccination. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated multiple areas of high signal intensity in the white matter of the cerebellum, predominantly in the
Meningitis caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV) is rare in healthy population. Predominantly immunocompromised patients are affected by reactivation of this virus with primary clinical features of rash and neurological symptoms. Here we report a young otherwise healthy man diagnosed with a VZV
Reactivation of varicella zoster virus occurs more often in the elderly or immunocompromised persons. During pregnancy increased anti-inflammatory cellular response promotes tolerance of foetal antigens. Post-partum a shift towards an inflammatory response may facilitate the reoccurrence of latent
We report on a 35 year old female with a 26 day history of an intermittent cerebellar syndrome (dysarthria, ataxia of extremities, gait and trunk, nystagmus), mild meningism, cephalgia, recurrent emesis and nausea. Symptoms developed after typically chickenpox exanthema. Examination of the liquor
BACKGROUND
Varicella is a common childhood disease that can cause morbidity and mortality among immunosuppressed patients. There have been few previous studies monitoring the course of pediatric liver transplant patients with acute varicella. The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment,
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) belongs to the group of herpes viruses. It can cause a number of nervous system infections. We present 2 of 4 patients seen recently suffering from acute meningoencephalitis, in which VZV proved to be the infectious agent. The first patient was a 57-year-old woman with
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection is generally considered as a benign and self-limiting disease. However, individuals with VZV infection can have disseminated to various organs leading to serious complications, particularly in adults. This pattern is more prevalent in immunosuppressed
Knowledge of the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of Varicella zoster virus (VZV) encephalitis remains limited.Nationwide prospective cohort study of adults treated for microbiologically confirmed VZV encephalitis at Danish departments of OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical manifestations, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) characteristics, imaging studies and prognostic factors of adverse clinical outcomes (ACO) among adults with herpes simplex virus (HSV) or varicella zoster virus (VZV) CNS infections.
METHODS
Retrospective review of adult
OBJECTIVE
Infection with varicella-zoster virus after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality. Visceral involvement with varicella-zoster may be incorrectly ascribed to graft-versus-host disease, resulting in delayed diagnosis and misguided therapy.
METHODS
A
Background: Mitoxantrone (MTX) has been used as an effective disease modifying treatment (DMT) in multiple sclerosis (MS). Evidence from studies demonstrates benefits of reduced relapse rates, MRI disease activity and disability
OBJECTIVE
To determine the frequency, etiology (viral infection or vaccination), presenting signs and symptoms, response to therapy, complication and course of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) in our hospitals.
METHODS
A 2-year retrospective, descriptive, chart review of children with
