“…Though viral culture and antibody studies could not be done due to financial constraints, VZV IgM titers are not very high during reactivation and sensitivity of VZV culture is approximately 20%. [5] However in our patient it is unclear whether the reactivation occurred independently in two separate ganglia or if it was caused by viral spread from one ganglion to another. Incidentally the patient is healthy even after 1 year with no additional herpes zoster or any other significant infection or any symptoms indicative of immunocompromised state.…”

“…Zur Diagnosesicherung werden heute der Nachweis spezifischer Antikörper, die VZV-Polymerasekettenreaktion (PCR) sowie der Virusdirektnachweis in Zellkulturen empfohlen [21,44]. Allerdings sind Routinelaboruntersuchungen zur Diagnose des akuten Herpes zoster sind wenig nützlich:…”

“…Falsch positive Testergebnisse können durch Kreuzreaktion zwischen den Antikörpern der antigenetisch verwandten HSV und VZV auftreten. Mittels ELI-SA ist keine Differenzierung zwischen HSV-1 und HSV-2 möglich [12][13][14].…”
