    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Virology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Herpes zoster virus can cause central nervous system infections.
    • Meningoencephalitis is a serious complication of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infections.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with acute meningoencephalitis and significant intracranial hemorrhage on CT scan.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed serologically.

    Findings:

    • Treatment with acyclovir resulted in a favorable clinical outcome.
    • The study discusses the potential mechanisms of VZV encephalitis and hemorrhage.

    Implications:

    • Acyclovir is effective in managing VZV infections extending to the nervous system.
    • Understanding the pathogenesis of VZV-related neurological complications is crucial for timely intervention.
