  • Title: Temporal artery biopsy in herpes zoster ophthalmicus with delayed arteritis.
    Author: Victor DI, Green WR.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1976 Oct; 82(4):628-30. PubMed ID: 1086062.
    Abstract:
    A 58-year-old man developed herpes zoster ophthalmicus with delayed hemiparesis. Temporal artery biopsy confirmed the presence of a vasculitis. Electron microscopy of the temporal artery failed to reveal viral particles. Herpes zoster ophthalmicus with delayed arteritis appeared to be a contiguous spread of vasculitis to the carotid system and not a direct viral invasion.
