DOI: 10.1002/jmv.27651
Abstract: Infections are an underappreciated cause of stroke, particularly in young and immunocompromised individuals. Varicella‐zoster virus (VZV) reactivation, particularly ophthalmic zoster, has been linked to increased risk of stroke but diagnosing VZV‐associated cerebral vasculopathy is challenging… read more here.
