## Abstract In order to investigate the possible involvement of viruses in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), the study evaluated the presence of viral genomic sequences in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), as markers of viral replication within the central nervous system (CNS). A total of 85 CSF samples were colle
## Abstract Acute aseptic meningitis (AAM) is considered as an uncommon manifestation of varicella‐zoster virus (VZV) recrudescence and is usually regarded as a complication of the cutaneous infection in patients with impaired cellular immunity. Indirect evidence suggests, however, that VZV‐associa
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 46 patients with encephalitis were studied f o r t h e presence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2 and/or varicella zoster virus (VZV)-specific DNA sequences by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. Patients were studied because of detection of in
## Abstract Zoster patients are considered to be less contagious than those with varicella because their infectious lesions are localized. However, it is not known when the spread of varicella‐zoster virus (VZV) from zoster patients begins, how long it continues, and how far the virus spreads from
