| diseases associated with herpesviruses. | human herpesviruses have been associated with numerous diseases throughout history (table 3), but their ability to induce latent and recurrent infections, alongwith their oncogenic capabilities, is only beginning to be understood. accordingly, our ability to deal with the diseases induced by herpesviruses is severely limited by our lack of information concerning the basic processes of virus-host cell interactions and systemic host factors; especially immune factors that are involved in the disea ... | 1976 | 179753 |

| adenine arabinoside for therapy of herpes zoster in immunosuppressed patients: preliminary results of a collaborative study. | eighty-seven immunosuppressed patients (53 with localized and 34 with disseminated herpes zoster) from 10 institutions were enrolled in a controlled therapeutic trial of adenine arabinoside. a crossover design was employed; thus, 47 patients received drug for five days and then received placebo, and 40 were given the two substances in the opposite order. resolution of acute pain and the cutaneous lesions were graded during a 10-day observation period. during the initial five-day period, treated ... | 1976 | 180198 |
| varicella-zoster antibodies in adult patient with haemoblastoses. | indirect haemagglutination (ih) antibodies to varicella-zoster (vz) virus were investigated, under the identical conditions of a single experiment, in a group of patients with haemoblastoses and 80 normal adults of equal age groups. statistical significance of the differences in vz antibody geometric mean titres between the individual haemoblastoses and normal controls was examined by means of variance analysis. a significantly raised mean titre was still found in the hodgkin's disease group. | 1976 | 180728 |
| necrotizing retinopathy with herpes zoster ophthalmicus: a light and electron microscopical study. | a necrotizing retinopathy following a vesicular cutaneous eruption in the distribution of the right trigeminal nerve developed in a patient who had been receiving systemic corticosteroid therapy one week prior to the onset of herpes zoster ophthalmicus. seven weeks after the herpetic symptoms began, the patient died of pneumonia following an intracerebral hematoma. at postmortem examination, unexpected multiple focal and confluent lesions, which corresponded to areas of extensive retinal necrosi ... | 1976 | 180930 |
| severe hemorrhagic varicella with visceral involvement: virological and serological studies during treatment with cytosine arabinoside. | a boy 13 year-old suffered an extremely severe and prolonged attack of hemorrhagic chickenpox with visceral involvement, the diagnosis being confirmed by isolation of varicella-zoster-virus (vzv). there was no other compromising disease. all preceding vaccinations including two against smallpox had been uneventful. the severity of the attack could not be ascribed to any persistent cellular or humoral immunodeficiency. the patient developed a good antibody response. the course of serological reac ... | 1976 | 181329 |
| anti-ebv antibody titers in non-hodgkin lymphomas. | antibody titers to epstein-barr virus (ebv)-related antigens, i.e. viral capsid antigen (vca), the d and r components of the early antigen (ea) complex and the ebv-associated nuclear antigen (ebna), were determined in a series of 86 patients with non-hodgkin lymphomas and in 150 matched control subjects. the lymphoma patients belonged to four histological groups: diffuse, nodular, hyperbasophilic malignant lymphoma (hml) and unclassified. the ebv-related serological data were compared to the inc ... | 1976 | 181335 |
