Journal ArticleDOI
Neurologic complications of the reactivation of varicella-zoster virus.
Donald H. Gilden,Bette K. Kleinschmidt-DeMasters,James J. LaGuardia,Ravi Mahalingam,Randall J. Cohrs +4 more
TL;DR: The detection of varicella–zoster virus in blood vessels and other tissues by methods based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has widened the recognized patterns of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Varicella zoster virus vasculopathies: diverse clinical manifestations, laboratory features, pathogenesis, and treatment.
TL;DR: Vasculopathies 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).
Journal ArticleDOI
The varicella zoster virus vasculopathies Clinical, CSF, imaging, and virologic features
Maria A. Nagel,Randall J. Cohrs,Ravi Mahalingam,Mary Wellish,Bagher Forghani,A. Schiller,Joseph Safdieh,E. Kamenkovich,Lyle W. Ostrow,Michael J. Levy,Benjamin Greenberg,Andrew Russman,Irene L. Katzan,C. J. Gardner,Martin Häusler,Roland Nau,Takeshi Saraya,H. Wada,H. Goto,M. De Martino,M. Ueno,W. D. Brown,C. Terborg,Donald H. Gilden +23 more
TL;DR: Rash or CSF pleocytosis is not required to diagnose varicella zoster virus (VZV) vasculopathy, whereas MRI/CT abnormalities are seen in almost all patients, and determination of optimal antiviral treatment and benefit of concurrent steroid therapy awaits studies with larger case numbers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Varicella zoster virus infection.
Anne A. Gershon,Judith Breuer,Jeffrey I. Cohen,Randall J. Cohrs,Michael D. Gershon,Donald H. Gilden,Charles Grose,Sophie Hambleton,Peter G. E. Kennedy,Michael N. Oxman,Jane F. Seward,Koichi Yamanishi +11 more
TL;DR: This Primer discusses the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of VZV infections, with an emphasis on the molecular events that regulate these diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress‐induced subclinical reactivation of varicella zoster virus in astronauts
Satish K. Mehta,Randall J. Cohrs,Bagher Forghani,Gary O. Zerbe,Donald H. Gilden,Duane L. Pierson +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that VZV can reactivate subclinically in healthy individuals after non‐surgical stress, and not in elderly individuals, organ transplant recipients, and patients with cancer and AIDS.
