lüll Varicella zoster virus vasculopathies: diverse clinical manifestations, laboratory features, pathogenesis, and treatment Gilden D; Cohrs RJ; Mahalingam R; Nagel MALancet Neurol 2009[Aug]; 8 (8): 731-40Vasculopathies caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV) are indicative of a productive virus infection in cerebral arteries after either reactivation of VZV (shingles) or primary infection (chickenpox). VZV vasculopathy can cause ischaemic infarction of the brain and spinal cord, as well as aneurysm, subarachnoid and cerebral haemorrhage, carotid dissection, and, rarely, peripheral arterial disease. VZV vasculopathy in immunocompetent or immunocompromised individuals can be unifocal or multifocal with deep-seated and superficial infarctions. Lesions at the grey-white matter junction on brain imaging are a clue to diagnosis. Involvement of both large and small arteries is more common than that of either alone. Most patients have a mononuclear cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis, often with red blood cells. Cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis and rash are absent in about a third of cases. Anti-VZV IgG antibody in the cerebrospinal fluid is found more frequently than VZV DNA. In recent years, the number of recognised VZV vasculopathies has grown, and accurate diagnosis is important for the effective treatment of these disorders.|Animals[MESH]|Brain/pathology/virology[MESH]|Cerebral Angiography[MESH]|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Encephalitis, Varicella Zoster/diagnosis/history/*pathology/*therapy[MESH]|Herpesvirus 3, Human/*physiology[MESH]|History, 20th Century[MESH]|History, 21st Century[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Laboratories[MESH]|Magnetic Resonance Imaging[MESH] |
