AIM To investigate the sensitivity of various laboratory approaches in the diagnosis of herpes zoster from patient serum. METHODS Paired sera from 53 consecutive adult patients with acute herpes zoster were tested for the presence of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) antibodies. All acute sera were tested subsequently by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the presence of VZV DNA. In add...
BACKGROUND Herpes zoster ophthalmicus is defined as herpes zoster involvement of the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve. Ocular involvement occurs in 20-70% of patients with herpes zoster ophthalmicus and may include blepharitis, keratoconjunctivitis, iritis, scleritis, and acute retinal necrosis. Orbital apex syndrome is a rare but severe ocular complication of herpes zoster ophthalmi...
The remarkable new hypothesis put forth by R. Edgar Hope-Simpson, a general practitioner in Cirencester, England, in 1965 on the nature of herpes zoster was based on the observation of every case of herpes zoster by Hope-Simpson and his partner over 16 years in their practice of 3500 persons [1]. They recorded 192 cases of zoster during the 16-year period of 1947–1962, for an annual rate of 3.4...
Antimony compounds are the cornerstone treatments for tegumentary leishmaniasis. The reactivation of herpes virus is a side effect described in few reports. We conducted an observational study to describe the incidence of herpes zoster reactivation during treatment with antimony compounds. The global incidence of herpes zoster is approximately 2.5 cases per 1,000 persons per month (or 30 cases ...
Introduction: The Ramsay Hunt syndrome is characterized by herpetic lesions combined with peripheral facial nerve palsy. The disease is caused by a reactivation of the varicella zoster virus and can be deceiving since the herpetic lesions are not always present (zoster sine herpete) and might mimic other severe neurological illnesses. This article reviews the various forms of Ramsay Hunt syndro...
Background: The authors sought to monitor the impact of widespread varicella vaccination on the epidemiology of varicella and herpes zoster. While varicella incidence would be expected to decrease, mathematical models predict an initial increase in herpes zoster incidence if re-exposure to varicella protects against reactivation of the varicella zoster virus. Methods: In 1998–2003, as varicella...
BACKGROUND The Depression Substudy of the Shingles Prevention Study (SPS) was designed to evaluate the association between major depression and immune responses to a high-titer live attenuated varicella zoster virus (VZV) vaccine (zoster vaccine), which boosts cell-mediated immunity (CMI) to VZV and decreases the incidence and severity of herpes zoster (HZ). The Depression Substudy was a 2-year...
Pulsed Radiofrequency to the Dorsal Root Ganglion in Acute Herpes Zoster and Postherpetic Neuralgia.
BACKGROUND Latent varicella zoster virus reactivates mainly in sensory ganglia such as the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) or trigeminal ganglion. The DRG contains many receptor channels and is an important region for pain signal transduction. Sustained abnormal electrical activity to the spinal cord via the DRG in acute herpes zoster can result in neuropathic conditions such as postherpetic neuralg...
Indian J Dermatol Venereol Leprol | September-October 2010 | Vol 76 | Issue 5 like foot drop and wrist drop, but VZV can also rarely produce limb paralysis. In view of the high prevalence of herpes zoster in recent times, this uncommon complication of herpes zoster should also be considered in all peripheral limb paralysis cases. The purpose of this report is to create awareness about this unco...
Herpes zoster (shingles) is caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus that has lain dormant in the dorsal root ganglion after primary infection (as chickenpox). It affects the sensory ganglia and their areas of innervation, and is characterised by pain in the distribution of the affected nerve, and crops of clustered vesicles over the area. Pain may occur days before rash onset, or n...
