Varicella-zoster virus vasculopathy. A review description of a new case with multifocal brain hemorrhage

VZV vasculopathy can occur in both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed patients. Neuroimaging can reveal stroke and angiitis, and the detection of VZV-specific IgG antibodies in the CSF is a reliable and highly sensitive diagnostic tool. The multifocal nature of VZV vasculopathy makes biopsy a test with low sensitivity and high morbidity.
