LANCHEROS PINEDA, Lina  and  BERNAL-PACHECO, Oscar. Neurological manifestations of herpes simplex virus and varicella zoster. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2021, vol.37, n.1, suppl.1, pp.1-12.  Epub May 20, 2021. ISSN 0120-8748.  https://doi.org/10.22379/24224022318.

The spectrum of neurological manifestations secondary to infection by the family of viruses Herpesviridae is heterogeneous depending on environmental factors, susceptibility host immunological (infection for life), genetic susceptibility among other variables. Thus, the compromise can be fatal in the absence of prompt diagnosis and treatment. He objective of reviewing neuroinfection by Herpes virus type 1 (HSV-1), type 2 (HSV-2) and virus varicella zoster (VVZ) is to delve into those clinical manifestations that generate central and peripheral nervous system involvement, seeks to detect and confirm early, and likewise establish an adequate therapeutic approach that depends on the clinical commitment, ultimately minimizing long-term neurological complications and sequelae term.

Keywords : viruses; HSV-1; HSV-2; varicella zoster virus; central nervous system; peripheral nervous system (MeSH).
