In RESIST our focus is on herpes viruses in particular the varicella zoster virus (VZV) that causes the most common viral neuroinfection called herpes zoster or shingles. Upon reactivation, VZV induces painful skin lesions and can in addition lead to severe complications like central nervous system affection or chronic neuropathic pain. Since the clinical manifestation of VZV infection varies tremendously between patients we aim to identify determinants for a complicated clinical course.
\nWe pursue this by investigating clinical and genetic determinants and by searching for biomarkers in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients suffering from VZV. This information will give clues for a better understanding of the disease, for the clinical management of patients and may be the basis to identify new targets for the treatment of severe courses of VZV infections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
