Herpes zoster ophthalmicus and varicella zoster virus vasculopathy
ABSTRACT Herpes zoster (HZ) corresponds to the reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV). Among adults, the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve is one of the most common sites of involvement.

A review of the available literature indicated that ocular involvement of HZ was a risk factor for vasculopat...
