  • Title: Varicella-zoster virus meningoencephalitis in an immunocompetent patient without a rash.
    Author: Klein NC, McDermott B, Cunha BA.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2010 Aug; 42(8):631-3. PubMed ID: 20214542.
    Abstract:
    Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is an unusual cause of meningoencephalitis in the immunocompetent patient. Most cases of VZV-associated aseptic meningitis or encephalitis are associated with the skin rash of primary varicella, localized herpes zoster, or disseminated zoster. We report a case of VZV meningoencephalitis without a rash occurring in a normal host.
