  • Title: [Neurological disease due to the varicella-zoster virus without a skin lesion].
    Author: Monzón Monguilod MJ, Ayuso Blanco T, Velilla Marco I, Gracia Naya M, López Gastón JI, Calderón CR.
    Journal: Rev Clin Esp; 1993 Dec; 193(9):480-2. PubMed ID: 8108579.
    Abstract:
    We studied three cases of inflammatory neurological disease and serological evidence of varicella-zoster viral (VZV) infection without cutaneous manifestation. They corresponded to a case of cranial multi-neuritis, a case of aseptic meningitis, and another case of meningoencephalitis. Despite the infrequency of any such association, the spectrum of the neurological diseases associated with VZV without skin lesions is quite wide. We are motivated to present our experience by the belief that it is important to think about this possible etiology based on inflammatory areas at different levels of the Nervous System in patients who are still immunocompetent.
