With the increasing use of disease modifying therapies as treatment for multiple sclerosis, knowledge of the rare but possibly severe adverse events becomes increasingly important. We present a case of Varicella-Zoster virus associated vasculopathy in a young male multiple sclerosis patient, treated with dimethyl fumarate. We aim to address this rare but potentially deadly complication of varicella-Zoster virus infection and spread awareness about the increased risk in this patient population.

The determinants of varicella-zoster virus (VZV)-associated central nervous system (CNS) infection have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors, including immunosuppression, for different manifestations of VZV-associated CNS infection. Patient registers were used to include adults diagnosed with VZV-associated CNS infections between 2010 and 2019 in Sweden.
