RESUMEN
INTRODUCCIN
SUMMARY
We discussed a case of Varicella zoster encephalitis, is a
mestizo female patient of 62 years beginning with
subacute onset headache associated days before
admission to the emergency room with neurological
manifestations, which were initially interpreted as a
bacterial meningitis vs meningeal tuberculosis; central
nervous system being the most frequent location of this
extracutaneous herpesvirus; and the most common form
of neurological involvement in this infection is
encephalitis, it was thought in this entity by differential
diagnosis and dermatologic manifestations that
appeared in their hospital stay; despite its unusualness
not reported in the literature, which led to conduct a
thorough review of this topic. The patient progressed
satisfactorily with disappearance of clinical symptoms
and signs. His prognosis was favorable in the short term.
Keywords: DNA polymerase I, Herpes simplex adenosine
deaminase (ADA), LAM antigen (lipoarabinomannan).
Examen neurolgico:
Pupilas isocricas de 3 mm fotoreactivas; Reflejos
culo- ceflicos y cornanos presentes. Reflejos 3/4
simtricos, Fuerza muscular disminuido, Bilateral,
simtrico, Agitacin motora. Sensibilidad superficial y
profunda conservada: refiere sensacin de parestesia
en espalda. Signos menngeos y Babinsky bilateral
negativos.
Estudios realizados:
Se tom TAC simple de crneo (DO1) (figura 1).
Negativa. Se realiz puncin lumbar, el lquido
cefalorraqudeo (LCR) (DO1 y DO2) con: (tabla 1).
Figura 1. TAC de crneo simple tomado el primer da de hospitalizacin (24-08-2016), aparentemente sin alteraciones: no se evidencia prdida de la
diferenciacin corticosubcortical ni borramiento de los surcos. No se evidencia desviacin de la lnea ni signos de edema cerebral.

DISCUSION:
Histricamente, las complicaciones del SNC debidas a
VVZ (Herpes tipo 3 - Tabla 4) son predominantemente
reconocidas en pacientes inumunocomprometidos,
especficamente en asociacin con el virus de
inmunodeficiencia humana y neoplasias, o en aquellos
con inmunosupresin secundaria a trasplante de
rganos7.
