Meningitis caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection is uncommon in immunocompetent patients. We report 3 cases of VZV meningitis with rash in immunocompetent adults from a single academic institution over a 1-year period. The low prevalence of VZV meningitis in this population is attributed to lack of early recognition or underreporting. We highlight the importance of considering VZV as a possible cause of meningitis even in previously healthy young individuals.
水痘带状疱疹病毒（VZV）感染引起的脑膜炎在免疫功能正常的患者中并不常见。我们报告了在1年时间里，来自同一学术机构的3例免疫功能正常的成年VZV脑膜炎伴皮疹患者。该人群中VZV脑膜炎的低患病率归因于缺乏早期识别或报告不足。我们强调，即使在以前健康的年轻人中，也应考虑VZV作为脑膜炎可能病因的重要性。
