85
Q

recuurent herpes

87
Q

What disease is caused upon contraction of VZV?

A 
Chicken pox
Herpes zoster (Shingles)
88
Q

What are the sequale following VZV infection? How can it be diagnosed?

A

macular, papular rash
latent infection as virus remains dormant in the posterior root ganglion and nerve cells bodies
in those that become immunocomprimsed and elderly there is recrudescence.
this leads to shingles infection (follows dermatome) doesnt cross the midline introrwl and extra oral distribution

Diagnosis: clinical and history but can do lab tests to confirm.

  1. Serology: specific VZV IgM AB only occurs during chickenpox or active herpes zoster
  2. Four fold rise in VZV specific IgG which can be demonstrated over a 2 week period in a true phase so retrospective only
  3. Swab taken and in special transport media for PCR
