Varicella-Zoster Virus
Straus et al. Ann Intern Med 1988

Epidemiology of Zoster
• About 99% of adults >40 yo infected with varicella-zoster, thus all older adults at risk
• About 1 million cases in the US each year • Rates appear to be increasing • 50% of persons of live to age 85 will develop
zoster, 5% may get a second case

Risk Factors for Zoster
• Age- the major risk factor for healthy persons (long duration since exposure to virus)
• Immune compromise- T cell immunity: transplant recipients, leukemia, lymphoma; HIV increases the risk up to 50 fold
• Age and immune compromise- reduced VZV-specific T cell immunity

Varicella-Zoster Virus: Site of Latency
• Varicella-zoster virus is latent in dorsal root ganglia (along the spine) or cranial nerve ganglia and reactivates spreading along the nerve to the skin
Dorsal root ganglia with VZV
III, VII cranial nerves

Zoster Symptoms- Rash: Healthy Persons
• Vesicular rash in a dermatomal pattern that does not cross the midline (dermatome=area of the skin innervated by sensory nerve from one nerve root)
• Can have a few lesions outside the dermatome(s) • Duration of rash
New lesions over 5-7 days Papules>vesicles>pustules Crusting over 7-10 days
• Some patients do not have rash (zoster sine herpete)

Zoster Symptoms- Pain: Healthy Persons
• Increased sensation 1-5 days before rash: tingling or itching leading to pain (initially difficult to diagnose zoster without rash)
• Abdominal or chest pain can be confused with appendicitis or heart attack
• Pain ranges from aching, burning, stabbing, excruciating; continuous or episodic
• Up to 10% of patients do not have pain (more common in younger patients)

Postherpetic Neuralgia
• Pain persisting for 90 days (definitions vary) after onset of the rash is termed postherpetic neuralgia (PHN)
• Pain may persists for months to years • Pain is due to nerve damage (from skin to spinal cord)
during zoster • More common in persons >50 years old • Allodynia (sensation of pain after nonpainful stimuli) • Paresthesias (burning, tingling) • Dysesthesias (impaired sensation) • Continuous neuropathic pain

Risk Factors for Postherpetic Neuralgia
• Age: - PHN occurs in 25-50% of persons >50 yo - PHN rare in patients <40 yo
• Severe pain or severe rash at onset of zoster
• Immune compromise is not a risk factor for PHN

Epidemiology of Postherpetic Neuralgia
• 100,000 to 200,000 cases of PHN per year • 10% of zoster patients have >90 days of
pain • 18% of zoster patients have >30 days of
pain

Neurologic Complications of Zoster
• Bell’s palsy: unilateral facial paralysis (reactivation in the VII cranial nerve)
• Ramsay-Hunt syndrome: pain and vesicles in the ear, numbness of the anterior tongue, and facial palsy (reactivation in the geniculate ganglion of the VII N)
• Hearing impairment • Meningitis, Guillain-Barre, transverse
myelitis • Stroke or TIAs (vasculitis of cranial
arteries) during zoster, or months later

Ocular Complications of Zoster
Eye disease involving any part of the eye (reactivation in the VI branch trigeminal ganglia):
– 15% of zoster cases involve the eye – Keratitis, uveitis, retinitis, glaucoma – If eye involved, important to have
ophthalmology consultation to determine if ocular therapy is needed

Other Complications of Zoster
• Bacterial superinfection
• Post-herpetic pruritis
• 3% of patients with zoster are hospitalized
• Transmission of VZV to susceptible children, causing varicella: zoster is ~20% as contagious as varicella

Immunology of Zoster
Zoster patients have: • normal levels of antibody to VZV • reduced T cell immunity to VZV Zoster is due to reduced cellular immunity
(T cells) specific for VZV

Diagnosis of Zoster
• Usually clinical diagnosis in setting of a dermatomal, unilateral vesicular rash with pain
• PCR for VZV DNA of skin lesion fluid
(or PCR of cerebrospinal fluid for CNS disease) • Rash may be confused with herpes simplex
which is more likely to recur often
