Severe perianal shingles during azathioprine and budesonide treatment for Crohn's disease-preventable with zoster vaccine?
    BMJ case reports, 2016, Jul-20, Volume: 2016

    Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly those on immunosuppressive medications, suffer a high incidence of, and worse clinical outcomes relating to, herpes zoster (HZ) reactivation. We report on the presentation and management of a patient with Crohn's disease who developed severe perianal HZ after starting azathioprine and oral budesonide treatment. The zoster vaccine may prevent such zoster reactivation in patients with IBD. The zoster vaccine is effective in decreasing the risk of HZ in older adults but its role in younger adults and those with IBD has not been tested prospectively. A review of the potential risks and benefits of this live vaccine in patients with IBD and an approach to further determining its role in this patient population is discussed.

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis after Varicella zoster infection in a patient presenting with antiphospholipid syndrome and discoid lupus.
    Rheumatology international, 2002, Volume: 22, Issue:5

    We present a case with diagnosis of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis that illustrates the appearance of this rare chronic lung disease on conventional chest X-ray, high-resolution CT, and transbronchial lung biopsy. This is the first case reported which developed pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis after Varicella zoster infection in a patient with antiphospholipid antibodies and discoid lupus.
