摘要

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.
