  • Title: Aseptic meningitis caused by reactivation of varicella-zoster virus in two immunocompetent patients.
    Author: Mogensen TH, Larsen CS.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2006; 38(9):815-8. PubMed ID: 16938740.
    Abstract:
    Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) may be a more frequent causative factor of aseptic meningitis than previously anticipated. Here we present 2 cases of reactivation of VZV in immunocompetent individuals, resulting in meningitis and affection of multiple cranial nerves, and discuss the incidence, clinical spectrum, pathogenesis, diagnostics and options for treatment.
