Thoracic zoster occurred most commonly, followed by ophthalmic, cervical and lumbosacral zoster. Neurological complications were present in eleven patients (11.8%), the commonest being Ramsay-Hunt syndrome and segmental limb paresis. The clinical picture, pathogenesis, treatment and outcome of segmental limb paresis, myelitis and delayed contralateral hemiparesis following zoster ophthalmicus are discussed. Nine immunocompromised patients received intravenous adenine arabinoside (vidarabine) or acycloguanosine (acyclovir), and no cutaneous or visceral spread occurred in these patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.63.736.85","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,29]],"date-time":"2008-12-29T21:05:27Z","timestamp":1230584727000},"page":"85-89","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Herpes zoster and its neurological complications"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"63","author":[{"given":"C M","family":"Chang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Queen Mary Hospital, University of Hong Kong , Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Woo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Queen Mary Hospital, University of Hong Kong , Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Y L","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Queen Mary Hospital, University of Hong Kong , Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C Y","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Queen Mary Hospital, University of Hong Kong , Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Chin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Queen Mary Hospital, University of Hong Kong , Hong Kong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1987,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"9","article-title":"The nature of herpes zoster: A long term study and","volume-title":"a new hypothesis.
