Varicella-zoster

V
aricella- zoster
virus (VZV) is an exclusively human neurotropic, double-stranded DNA alpha herpesvirus,
primary infection causes varicella (chickenpox), with a decline in VZV-specific cell-mediated immunity
in elderly and immunocompromised individuals and VZV reactivates to cause
herpes zoster
(shingles) with its
complications.
Varicella-zoster
virus infections can produce multiple disorders of the central and peripheral nervous
system and often without rash. The most common complication of
herpes zoster
is post herpetic neuralgia, pain
that persists months to years after rash resolved.
Herpes zoster
may cause serious chronic complications, including
PHN, cerebral arteritis and
herpes zoster
ophthalmicus. The important of early diagnosis with a rapid virology
verification and early prompt treatment with antiviral agents can lead to complete recovery; even in patients with
protracted disease.
Herpes zoster
vaccination significantly reduces the incidence of both
Herpes zoster
, post herpetic
neuralgia and other complications. Given the limitations of existing
zoster
therapies, the prevention of VZV infection
has gained overriding importance. VZV vaccinations can reduce both the health and economic effects of
Herpes
zoster
. Although relatively costly, vaccinations not only reduce the risk of infection but may also preserve health-
related QOL in the geriatric population. With seven cases studies presentation there will be a high light on different
Varicella- zoster
clinical presentations.
