Meningitis caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV) is quite rare among young immunocompetent adults though immunocompromised patients are often seen to be affected by reactivation of VZV presenting with primary clinical features of dermatomal rashes and neurological sequelae.
VZV meningitis can occur at the same time as chickenpox or shingles or it can occur in its own without any rash or skin manifestation. Other Herpes viruses are less frequent causes of meningitis compared to HSV and VZV.
Shingles or cutaneous herpes zoster (HZ) is commonly seen in the elderly or in immunocompromised patients due to reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus (VZV). Rarely can it spread to the central nervous system (CNS) leading to meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis, vasculitis or mixed forms.
