Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) resistance to acyclovir (ACV) has only been reported in rare cases of immunocompromised patients. We report the first case of an immunocompetent patient with ACV-resistant VZV keratitis associated with a nucleotide deletion in the VZV thymidine kinase gene, leading to production of a truncated protein.
水痘带状疱疹病毒(VZV)对阿昔洛韦(ACV)的耐药性仅在少数免疫功能低下的患者中报告过。我们报告了首例免疫功能正常的患者出现 ACV 耐药性 VZV 角膜炎,与 VZV 胸苷激酶基因中的核苷酸缺失有关,导致产生截短蛋白。
