A middle-aged man with long-standing Crohn disease maintained in remission on low-dose immunosuppression presented with abdominal pain. Over the following few days he developed a vesicular rash, became dyspnoeic, confused and had two seizures. Despite high-dose intravenous aciclovir, he died. Disseminated varicella zoster virus, the cause of his death, could potentially have been prevented had he received varicella vaccination at an earlier stage.
一名长期患有克罗恩病的中年男子,通过低剂量免疫抑制治疗维持病情缓解,现出现腹痛症状。在接下来的几天里,他出现了水疱性皮疹,呼吸困难,意识模糊,并发生了两次癫痫发作。尽管接受了大剂量静脉注射阿昔洛韦治疗,他还是去世了。他的死因是播散性水痘带状疱疹病毒,如果他在早期接种水痘疫苗,这种情况可能会得到预防。
