Abstract
Longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis is defined as a spinal cord lesion that extends over three or more spinal segments. Varicella zoster virus is an exclusively human neurotropic virus that reactivates following the weaning of cell-mediated immunity as age advances, resulting in herpes zoster. We report the case of a 61-year lady presenting with dorsal cord longitudinally extending transverse myelitis following herpes zoster infection that resolved with immunomodulation and antivirals.
期刊介绍：
Indian Association of Clinical Medicine is an academic body constituted in the year 1992 by a group of clinicians with the main aim of reaffirming the importance of clinical medicine in this era of high-tech diagnostic modalities. There is no doubt that modern investigational methods have contributed a lot to the present day medical practice but that does not render clinical acumen and examination less important. The art and science of clinical medicine helps up to make proper and judicious use of investigations and not these be the sole basis of our practice. That is the basic idea behind this ''Association''. We presently have members and fellows of the association from all over the country. In August, 2002 the body was registered as "Indian Association of Clinical Medicine" by the Registrar of Societies, Delhi.
