Multifocal vasculopathy due to Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV): serial analysis of VZV DNA and intrathecal synthesis of VZV antibody in cerebrospinal fluid.
Recognition of multifocal vasculopathy due to varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is often problematic. We describe a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient who had progressive central nervous system disease for >3 months. Both VZV DNA and antibody were detected in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens; serial polymerase chain reaction analyses confirmed the diagnosis and guided the duration of t...

متن کاملProinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases in CSF of patients with VZV vasculopathy
OBJECTIVE To determine the levels of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the CSF of patients with virologically verified varicella zoster virus (VZV) vasculopathy. METHODS CSF from 30 patients with virologically verified VZV vasculopathy was analyzed for levels of proinflammatory cytokines and MMPs using the Meso Scale Discovery multiplex ELISA platform. Positive...
متن کاملThe varicella-zoster virus (VZV) ORF9 protein interacts with the IE62 major VZV transactivator.
The varicella-zoster virus (VZV) ORF9 protein is a member of the herpesvirus UL49 gene family but shares limited identity and similarity with the UL49 prototype, herpes simplex virus type 1 VP22. ORF9 mRNA is the most abundantly expressed message during VZV infection; however, little is known concerning the functions of the ORF9 protein. We have found that the VZV major transactivator IE62 and ...

complications of this disease, mostly as a result of secondary staphylococcal or streptococcal cutaneous infections.4 With the advent of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, morbidity from secondary cellulitis became notably higher in individuals with varicella. Neurologic complications, in the form of acute cerebellar ataxia or encephalitis, can be life-threatening o...
