摘要

已知水痘带状疱疹感染会引起水痘。与水痘带状疱疹感染相关的神经系统并发症在免疫缺陷患者中尤为普遍，而在免疫正常患者中则很少见。我们报告一例水痘带状疱疹感染和伴随的长段脊背横向脊髓炎在免疫正常的病人。脑脊液水痘带状疱疹病毒(VZV) DNA阳性。阿昔洛韦治疗后观察到显著改善。

An uncommon complication of a common disease: Varicella zoster myelitis

Varicella zoster infection is known to cause chickenpox. Neurological complications related to varicella zoster infection are particularly prevalent among the Immunodeficient patients and rare among immunocompetent patients. We report a case of varicella zoster infection and concomitant long segment dorsal spine transverse myelitis in an immunocompetent patient. CSF was positive for varicella zoster virus (VZV) DNA. Significant improvement was observed following treatment with acyclovir.
