We report a case of a 76-year-old patient who developed an atypical form of varicella zoster virus (VZV) reinfection. In addition to histological and serological confirmation of diagnosis, direct demonstration of VZV-DNA was possible by means of the nested polymerase chain reaction. Although VZV infection is usually diagnosed by clinical examination, the nested PCR is a sensitive and specific diagnostic procedure that can be useful especially in atypical cases.
我们报告了一例76岁患者发生非典型水痘带状疱疹病毒（VZV）再感染的病例。除了通过组织学和血清学确诊外，还可通过巢式聚合酶链反应直接检测到VZV-DNA。虽然VZV感染通常通过临床检查诊断，但巢式PCR是一种敏感且特异的诊断方法，尤其在非典型病例中可能有用。
