Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the diagnostic value of varicella zoster virus (VZV) nucleic acid detection in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) complicated with herpes zoster.

Methods

The blood and herpes fluid of AIDS patients with herpes zoster were collected, the virus DNA was detected, and the serum anti-VZV IgM and T cell subsets were detected, respectively.

Results

A total of 32 patients with AIDS complicated with herpes zoster were included, all patients with VZV DNA positive in herpetic fluid, 28 patients with blood VZV DNA positive; only 7 AIDS patients with serum anti-VZV IgM positive, and the load of VZV DNA in herpetic fluid was significantly higher than that in blood, with significant difference (t = 3.173, P = 0.0032). The positive rate of VZV DNA in blood and herpetic fluid were significantly higher than that in serum anti-VZV IgM, with significant difference (87.5%, 100% vs. 21.8%; P < 0.001).

Conclusion

VZV nucleic acid detection was of great value in the etiological diagnosis of AIDS complicated with varicella zoster virus infection.
