After lumbar-distribution zoster, an HTLV-1-seropositive woman developed chronic radicular sacral-distribution pain (zoster sine herpete), cervical-distribution zoster paresis and thoracic-distribution myelopathy. Detection of anti-varicella zoster virus (VZV) IgM and VZV IgG antibody in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), with reduced serum/CSF ratios of anti-VZV IgG compared to normal serum/CSF ratios for albumin and total IgG, proved that VZV caused the protracted neurological complications. Diagnosis by antibody testing led to aggressive antiviral treatment and a favorable outcome.
一名HTLV-1血清反应阳性的女性在发生腰部带状疱疹后,出现了慢性骶部放射性疼痛(无疱疹性带状疱疹)、颈部带状疱疹性轻瘫和胸部脊髓病。脑脊液(CSF)中抗水痘带状疱疹病毒(VZV)IgM和VZV IgG抗体检测显示,与白蛋白和总IgG的正常血清/脑脊液比值相比,抗VZV IgG的血清/脑脊液比值降低,这证明VZV导致了迁延性神经并发症。通过抗体检测进行诊断后,积极的抗病毒治疗取得了良好效果。
