Varicella zoster virus-associated neuroretinitis
Varicella zoster virus-associated neuroretinitis is rare. We report a patient who presented with blurred vision of the left eye and extraocular movement pain. A fundoscopic examination revealed disc edema, hyperemia, and macular edema. The impression was neuroretinitis. Intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy was administered. However, visual recovery was incomplete with optical coherence ...
متن کاملMolecular characterisation of varicella zoster virus genotypes in Sri Lanka.
INTRODUCTION Genotyping of wild type of varicella zoster virus (VZV) in Sri Lanka would help to distinguish the VZV wild type infection from varicella vaccine associated infections. METHODS PCR-RFLP analysis of VZV ORF 38, 54 and 62 was used for genotyping in VZV from blood or vesicular fluid from 31 patients with chickenpox or herpes zoster. The PstI restriction site of ORF 38, BglI restrict...
متن کاملCovid-19 Vaccination and Reactivation of Varicella Zoster Virus
Introduction: After COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 that mostly affects upper respiratory tract, the scientists investigated an effective vaccine against the virus. As the vaccination of general population started some patients were visited with varicella zoster virus activation following the COVID vaccine.
متن کاملVaricella zoster virus glycoprotein C increases chemokine-mediated leukocyte migration
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a highly prevalent human pathogen that establishes latency in neurons of the peripheral nervous system. Primary infection causes varicella whereas reactivation results in zoster, which is often followed by chronic pain in adults. Following infection of epithelial cells in the respiratory tract, VZV spreads within the host by hijacking leukocytes, including T cell...
متن کاملCharacterization of neutralizing epitopes of varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein H.
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) glycoprotein H (gH) is the major neutralization target of VZV, and its neutralizing epitope is conformational. Ten neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies to gH were used to map the epitopes by immunohistochemical analysis and were categorized into seven epitope groups. The combinational neutralization efficacy of two epitope groups was not synergistic. Each epitop...
