01/11/2005 - "However, the notion that PHN may reflect a smoldering VZV ganglionitis is supported by 1) the detection of VZV DNA and proteins in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of many patients with PHN; 2) studies of multiple patients with zoster sine herpete, which indicate a productive VZV ganglionitis; and 3) a favorable response of some patients with zoster sine herpete and PHN to antiviral treatment. "

01/01/1988 - "The material for this study consisted of 287 cases of Bell's palsy, 64 cases of Hunt's syndrome and 12 cases of zoster sine herpete diagnosed by the CF method, obtained from 16 institutions throughout Japan. "

02/15/2012 - "Although previous analyses of saliva, blood mononuclear cells, serum antibodies, middle ear fluid, and auricular and geniculate zone skin scrapings have shown that a small but definite proportion of patients with idiopathic peripheral facial palsy ("Bell's palsy") have the Ramsay Hunt syndrome zoster sine herpete (RHS ZSH), this is the first confirmation of RHS ZSH by intrathecal synthesis of anti-VZV IgG antibody. "
01/01/2000 - "Although this patient lacked a typical cutaneous herpetic manifestation, elevated levels of IgM and IgG antibodies to varicella zoster virus (VZV) in both the serum and cerebrospinal fluid confirmed the clinical diagnosis of VZV infection and zoster sine herpete. "
