Acta Neurol Scand
. 2014 Oct;
131(6):417-21.
PMID: 25314141
Objectives: Since the routine use of polymerase chain reaction testing (PCR) in diagnosing herpes infections, varicella-zoster virus is increasingly recognized as a cause of varicella-zoster meningoencephalitis (VZV ME) among immunocompetent...

. 2011 Jul;
77(4):364-70.
PMID: 21753174
Objective: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is an under-recognized yet treatable cause of stroke. No animal model exists for stroke caused by VZV infection of cerebral arteries. Thus, we analyzed cerebral...

. 2011 Feb;
37(5):441-63.
PMID: 21342215
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a neurotropic herpesvirus that infects nearly all humans. Primary infection usually causes chickenpox (varicella), after which virus becomes latent in cranial nerve ganglia, dorsal root...

. 2010 Feb;
10(2):105-11.
PMID: 20166970
While arteriosclerotic disease and hypertension, with or without diabetes, are the most common causes of stroke, viruses may also produce transient ischemic attacks and stroke. The three most-well studied viruses...

Neurology
. 2008 Mar;
70(11):853-60.
PMID: 18332343
Background: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) vasculopathy produces stroke secondary to viral infection of cerebral arteries. Not all patients have rash before cerebral ischemia or stroke. Furthermore, other vasculitides produce similar...

Neurology
. 2007 Feb;
68(13):1069-73.
PMID: 17287447
Background: Factors that may obscure the diagnosis of varicella zoster virus (VZV) vasculopathy include the absence of rash before TIAs or stroke as well as similar clinical features and imaging,...

. 2001 Nov;
23(2):145-7.
PMID: 11724266
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revealed herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella zoster virus (VZV) DNA in human nodose and celiac ganglia. This is the first detection of VZV DNA in...

Brain Pathol
. 2001 Sep;
11(4):465-74.
PMID: 11556692
Herpesviruses are among the most successful human pathogens. In healthy individuals, primary infection is most often inapparent. After primary infection, the virus becomes latent in ganglia or blood mononuclear cells....

PMID: 11090142
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) establish latent infections in the peripheral nervous system following primary infection. During latency both virus genomes exhibit limited transcription, with...
