摘  要:BACKGROUND Visceral disseminated varicella-zoster virus(VZV)infection is a rare but lifethreatening disease.In transplant recipients with VZV infection,visceral dissemination may develop without skin eruptions,which leads to the failure of early diagnosis.CASE SUMMARY The patient was a 33-year-old male renal recipient who was referred to our hospital with severe upper abdominal pain of 3-d duration.On admission,the patient rapidly developed septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome with liver dysfunction and acute kidney injury.Next-generation sequencing of peripheral blood yielded 39224 sequence reads of VZV,and real-time polymerase chain reaction for VZV was positive,with 1.2×10^(7) copies/mL.The final diagnosis was visceral disseminated VZV infection.Acyclovir and supportive therapy were started,but the patient died of severe visceral organ damage 16 h after admission.CONCLUSION Visceral disseminated VZV infection is possible in renal transplant recipients presenting abdominal pain and rapidly-evolving organ damage without skin involvement.
