Abstract

A hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient developed abdominal pain, pneumatosis intestinalis, hepatitis, pancreatitis, and inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion. Blood for varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA polymerase chain reaction was positive. She was treated with acyclovir and subsequently developed VZV antigen-positive zoster. Detection of VZV DNA in blood may be useful for early diagnosis in immunocompromised hosts who present with zoster without skin lesions.
