Zusammenfassung:Published in association with the VZV Research Foundation, this is a comprehensive account of the biology and clinical features of the varicella-zoster virus. The successful development of a vaccine reflects intense research interest in this virus over recent years, and this book surveys current knowledge of the molecular biology, pathogenesis and clinical features of VZV as the causative agent of chickenpox and zoster (shingles). Topics covered include viral replication, latency, immune mechanisms, epidemiology and disease manifestations, and complications of varicella and zoster. There is detailed information on live attenuated varicella vaccine, treatment strategies and the management of postherpetic pain in zoster patients. As the most authoritative review and guide to the virus and its diseases, this book will appeal to a wide range of clinicians and investigators, including pediatricians, geriatricians, neurologists, dermatologists and infectious disease specialists, as well as virologists interested in the herpes viruses
