水痘－带状疱疹病毒感染的研究现状

水痘是儿童常见的一种急性、高传染性的呼吸道传染病，带状疱疹是患水痘后潜伏病毒的再激活所致，其病原为水痘－带状疱疹病毒（VZV），即人类疱疹病毒3型。原发感染可引起不同严重程度的典型疾病，健康儿童感染VZV后多数症状轻微，预后良好。但在某些特殊人群，如免疫功能缺陷及使用免疫抑制剂治疗的儿童，会导致严重后果，甚至死亡。成人感染VZV后症状也甚为严重。对VZV的分子生物学特征、流行病学、实验室诊断、治疗及预防对策等做了详细阐述。

The Present Status of Reseach on Varicella-zoster Virus Infection

Chickenpox is an acute and highly infectious respiratory disease commonly seen in children Varicela-zoster often results from the activation of latent virus in chickenpox called varicella-zoster virus(VZV)or called human herpesvirus type 3 Primary infection of VZV may induce typical disease of various severity and most healthy children infected with VZV have mild symptoms and good prognosis But VZV infection,if occurs in special population such as persons of immune inhibition treatment will induce serious consequence or even death and it is as same serious as in adults A detailed illustration of molecular biology,epidemiology,laboratory diagnosis,treatment and preventive strategy of the VZV were given
