Scope note: Inflamación del tejido cerebral debida a la infección por el virus varicela zoster (HERPESVIRUS 3 HUMANO). Esta enfermedad se asocia a estados de inmunodepresión, como el SÍNDROME DE INMUNODEFICIENCIA ADQUIRIDA. Desde el punto de vista anatomopatológico, el virus tiende a inducir una vasculopatía y a infectar a los oligodendrocitos y a las células ependimarias, produciéndose INFARTO CEREBRAL, regiones de desmielinización multifocales y necrosis periventricular. Las manifestaciones de la encefalitis por varicela suelen ocurrir 5-7 días después del inicio del HERPES ZOSTER e incluyen CEFALEAS, VÓMITOS, letargia, déficit neurológico focal, FIEBRE y COMA.

Scope note: Inflammation of brain tissue caused by infection with the varicella-zoster virus (HERPESVIRUS 3, HUMAN). This condition is associated with immunocompromised states, including the ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME. Pathologically, the virus tends to induce a vasculopathy and infect oligodendrocytes and ependymal cells, leading to CEREBRAL INFARCTION, multifocal regions of demyelination, and periventricular necrosis. Manifestations of varicella encephalitis usually occur 5-7 days after onset of HERPES ZOSTER and include HEADACHE; VOMITING; lethargy; focal neurologic deficits; FEVER; and COMA.
