What is the recommended treatment for VZV vasculitis?
Acyclovir is the drug of choice for the treatment of VZV infection.714 Among patients with stroke and diagnosed neurosyphilis, intense treatment with penicillin G is mandated.735 In some instances, there may be coexisting comorbidities that may also predispose to stroke such as large artery atherosclerosis or AF. In such cases, treating neurosyphilis is still indicated in addition to the confounding competing risk of stroke.
