Most adults are Varicella zoster virus (VZV)-positive at the age of 20 years. Some, however, remain antibody-negative and may develop primary chicken pox during adulthood. We report a patient with Williams-Campbell syndrome who underwent double-lung transplantation while being VZV-negative. One year after the successful procedure, he was admitted with fulminant hepatic failure and some cutaneous vesicles in his face. Despite a rapid diagnosis of VZV infection and treatment with acyclovir, his situation deteriorated within 24 hours and while awaiting an urgent liver transplantation, he developed multiple organ failure and died.
大多数成年人在20岁时水痘带状疱疹病毒(VZV)呈阳性。然而,有些人仍为抗体阴性,可能在成年期发生原发性水痘。我们报告一名患有威廉姆斯 - 坎贝尔综合征的患者,在VZV阴性时接受了双肺移植。手术成功一年后,他因暴发性肝衰竭和面部出现一些皮肤水疱入院。尽管迅速诊断出VZV感染并使用阿昔洛韦治疗,但他的病情在24小时内恶化,在等待紧急肝移植期间,他出现多器官功能衰竭并死亡。
