A case of zoster sine herpete of the trigeminal nerve.
Varicella-zoster virus reactivation causes zoster (shingles), a syndrome characterized by severe pain and a vesicular rash. The present report details a case of varicella-zoster virus reactivation of the maxillary and mandibular division of the right trigeminal nerve without evidence of vesicular rash (zoster sine herpete). It is difficult to identify owing to no typical clinical signs such as ...
متن کاملSpinal Arteriovenous Malformation Masquerating Zoster Sine Herpete
Zoster sine herpete (ZSH) is difficult to diagnosis during an acute period due to the absence of the characteristic zosteriform dermatomal rash; therefore, progression to postherpetic neuralgia is more common than typical zoster. In addition, misdiagnosis of other neuropathic pain as ZSH is common in clinical situations. Here, we report a case of spinal arteriovenous malformation that mimics ZS...
متن کاملDetection of Varicella-Zoster Virus DNA in the Iris of a Zoster Sine Herpete Patient
A 55-year-old man presented with unilateral iridocyclitis and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in his right eye. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the iris of a patient of Zoster Sine Herpete. No symptoms or signs of herpes zoster like neuralgia or cutaneous eruptions on forehead were noted. His iridocyclitis was treated and responded well wi...
متن کاملAcupuncture and Herpes Zoster
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...
متن کاملQuantitation of varicella-zoster virus DNA in patients with Ramsay Hunt syndrome and zoster sine herpete.
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) reactivation causes facial nerve palsy in Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) and zoster sine herpete (ZSH) with and without zoster rash, respectively. In the present study, we analyzed the VZV DNA copy number in saliva samples from 25 patients with RHS and 31 patients with ZSH using a TaqMan PCR assay to determine differences in the viral load between the two diseases. VZV ...
