本文重点关注免疫功能正常患者的复发性水痘带状疱疹病毒 (VZV) 脊髓炎。水痘带状疱疹病毒可引起多种疾病，其中最常见的是水痘和带状疱疹。尽管绝大多数病例并不复杂且具有自限性，但可能会出现神经系统症状，如带状疱疹后神经痛、节段性感觉丧失或运动麻痹、脑炎、脊髓炎、多灶性白质脑病和脑血管闭塞。脊髓炎是水痘带状疱疹病毒感染最罕见且特征最不明确的表现之一。在充分的抗病毒治疗后，水痘带状疱疹病毒脊髓炎复发的情况极为罕见。
The article focuses on recurrent varicella-zoster virus (VZV) myelitis in an immunocompetent patient. VZV can cause a wide spectrum of disorders of which varicella and herpes zoster are the most common. Although the vast majority of cases are uncomplicated and self-limiting, neurological symptoms such as postherpetic neuralgia, segmental sensory loss or motor paresis, encephalitis, myelitis, multifocal leukoencephalopathy and cerebral vascular occlusion may develop. Myelitis is one of the rarer and least well characterized manifestations of a VZV infection. It is extremely unusual for VZV myelitis to recur after adequate antiviral therapy.
