  36. Discuss…

  37. Studies Ordered • Blood cultures • Urine Cultures • CSF Cultures • HIV ELISA and Quantitative RNA • Rapid Influenza Assay • Serum RPR

  38. Enterovirus PCR HSV PCR Adenovirus PCR VZV PCR CMV PCR EBV PCR VDRL Crypto Antigen Influenza Virus Additional CSF Studies

  39. CSF Gram Stain: 1+ PMNs, no organismsCulture: no growth

  40. Varicella Zoster CSF PCR Positive

  41. Diagnosis: aseptic meningitis with Varicella Zoster as causative pathogen.

  42. Aseptic Meningitis Differential • Infectious: viruses, mycobacteria, fungi, spirochetes, tick borne • Drugs: NSAIDS, ATG, Sulfas, Quinolones and PCN • Malignancy • Autoimmune: Bechet’s, Mollaret’s • Partially Treated Meningitis

  43. Viruses • Enterovirus • HSV 2 • HIV • LCMV • Mumps • CMV • EBV • VZV • Adenovirus • Arbovirus

  44. Varicella Zoster • Human Herpes Virus • Causes Chicken Pox • Latent in cranial nerve and dorsal root ganglia • Reactivates causing a variety of manifestations

  45. Reactivation manifestations • Shingles • Radiculoneuropathy • Ganglionitis • Post- herpetic neuralgia • Myelitis • Encephalitis/ Ventriculitis • Arteritis • Aseptic meningitis

  46. Advent of PCR has increased awareness of VZV as a causative pathogen for viral meningitis.

  47. One Finnish Study (2006) • 144 immunocompetent participants with aseptic meningitis • 66% had identifiable etiologies (PCR) for aseptic meningitis: • Enterovirus 26% • HSV2 17% • VZV 8% • 31% of patients with VZV mengingitis had no rash
