They can be local at times as in viral conjunctivitis or "pink eye" and herpes. (wikipedia.org)
Rubella2
On the basis of documented nosocomial transmission, HCWs are considered to be at significant risk for acquiring or transmitting hepatitis B, influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella. (cdc.gov)
Viruses are also responsible for the common cold, childhood exanthems (such as chickenpox, measles, rubella), latent infections (such as herpes simplex), some cancers or lymphomas (such as Epstein-Barr virus), and diseases of all organ systems. (unboundmedicine.com)
Infection6
Herpes ophthalmicus is caused by reactivation of VZV infection in the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve. (medscape.com)

In the case of chickenpox, also called varicella, the initial infection with the virus typically occurs during childhood or adolescence. (wikipedia.org)
During an outbreak of shingles, exposure to the varicella virus found in shingles blisters can cause chickenpox in someone who has not yet had chickenpox, although that person will not suffer from shingles, at least on the first infection. (wikipedia.org)
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Infections Herpes simplex viruses (human herpesviruses types 1 and 2) commonly cause recurrent infection affecting the skin, mouth, lips, eyes, and genitals. (merckmanuals.com)
BACKGROUND: Polyradiculoneuropathy following infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV) is rare and most of the time, happens in the context of reactivation of latent VZV. (bvsalud.org)
Simplex viruses1
See Herpes Simplex Viruses: Test Your Knowledge , a Critical Images slideshow, for more information on clinical, histologic, and radiographic imaging findings in HSV-1 and HSV-2. (medscape.com)
Shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV) that also causes chickenpox. (wikipedia.org)
Viruses3
Cases of encephalitis attributed to arthropod- evaluates routine surveillance systems in terms of their ability borne viruses (arboviruses) are common in certain areas of the to quickly and accurately monitor sporadic cases and clusters. (cdc.gov)
Zoster sine herpete ("zoster without herpes") describes a person who has all of the symptoms of shingles except this characteristic rash. (wikipedia.org)
Neurological1
They can cause a wide range of neurological symptoms, such as meningitis, encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, Guillain-Barré-like syndrome and stroke, often leaving mild to severe residuals. (bvsalud.org)
Ophthalmicus1
Rarely, in cases of herpes ophthalmicus, the virus migrates along the intracranial branches of the trigeminal nerve, causing thrombotic cerebrovasculopathy with severe headache and hemiplegia. (medscape.com)
Shingles1
Shingles results when the dormant varicella virus is reactivated. (wikipedia.org)
In addition, patient had periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges on electroencephalography, which supports diagnosis of herpes encephalitis. (medscape.com)
Virus10
Reactivation of the dormant virus results in the characteristic painful dermatomal rash of herpes zoster, which is often followed by pain in the distribution of the rash (postherpetic neuralgia). (medscape.com)
Cases of actual monoplegia due to varicella-zoster virus (VZV) brachial plexus neuritis have been reported. (medscape.com)
Varicella zoster virus is not the same as herpes simplex virus, although they belong to the same family of herpesviruses. (wikipedia.org)
The blister fluid contains varicella zoster virus, which can be transmitted through contact or inhalation of fluid droplets until the lesions crust over, which may take up to four weeks. (wikipedia.org)
Some agents preferentially infect certain age groups, such as St. Louis encephalitis, which affects the extremes of age, and California virus, which infects young children. (medscape.com)
This reservoir is believed to have been the source of the sporadic human outbreaks that have occurred in certain African countries since the first cases were identified in the 1970s until the recent 2022 multinational mpox outbreak. (hiv.gov)
Acyclovir1
This is more common in immunosuppressed patients who use acyclovir (or other agents) as zoster prophylaxis. (medscape.com)
