Varicella zoster virus meningoencephalitis accompanied by rhabdomyolysis without skin eruption.

Go Un Kim1, Bon D Ku.   

Abstract

We report a case of a 38-year-old man with a Varicella zoster virus (VZV) reactivation who manifested meningoencephalitis accompanied by rhabdomyolysis without a skin eruption. During the acute phase, VZV DNA was detected in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). After 16 days, all symptoms and signs resolved, and follow-up PCR studies revealed negative conversion of VZV in the serum and CSF. We discuss the possible underlying mechanism of VZV reactivation in our patient. This is the first case report of VZV reactivation meningoencephalitis accompanied by rhabdomyolysis without skin eruption demonstrated by viral DNA in the serum and CSF.
