Aseptic meningitis
Advent of PCR has increased
awareness of VZV as a causative
pathogen for viral meningitis.
One Finnish Study (2006)
• 144 immunocompetent participants with
aseptic meningitis
• 66% had identifiable etiologies (PCR) for
aseptic meningitis:
– Enterovirus 26%
– HSV2 17%
– VZV 8%
• 31% of patients with VZV mengingitis had
no rash
