Reactivation latent varicella-zoster virus geniculate ganglion will cause SRH, resulting inflammation, edema, and compression VII cranial pair. However, involvement, turn development manifests less than 1% infected...

Interferons are produced in response to viral infection and play an important part in defense by their antiviral effects. An interferon-induced enzyme, 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetase (2-5AS) also takes an important part of the system of defense against viral infections, and its activity elevates in nonspecific viral infections. This study was designed to evaluate the usefulness of examining se...
