The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) can result from diverse conditions. There have been only two published reports linking this syndrome with herpes zoster infections--one disseminated and the other confined to the chest wall. We have reported a case in which herpes zoster infection of the chest wall probably precipitated the development of this syndrome.

Since the first paravertebral blockade was carried out by Sellheim in 1905, this method has proved effective for the isolated blockade of spinal nerves. The efficacy of preoperative intercostal blockade (ICB) in combination with neuroleptanalgesia (NLA) or Pentothal-pentazocine-N2O anesthesia (Pe-Pz) was studied (unilateral analgesia for cholecystectomy). Group 1: NLA; group 2: NLA with ICB; group 3: Pe-Pz; group 4: Pe-Pz with ICB. The analgesic requirement differed significantly between groups 1 (0.33 mg fentanyl) and 2 (0.15 mg fentanyl) and groups 3 (63.5 mg pentazocine) and 4 (31.5 mg pentazocine). There were also significant differences in circulatory responses. The maximum deviation from the initial value at the beginning of the operation in group 1 compared to group 2 was pulse rate + 28.7% vs + 2.4%, mean arterial pressure (Part) + 24.6% vs + 3.1%, and systolic pressure (Psyst) + 33% vs +/- 0%; group 3 compared to group 4: pulse rate + 16.4% vs + 3.2%, Part + 24.5% vs 0.0%, and Psyst + 26.5% vs + 196. The times of action of ICB extended from 7.54 h to 11.33 h for partial analgeisa, time to the first dose of analgesic from 12.3 h to 16.9 h (etidocaine 0.5% and 1% respectively without and with epinephrine). The mean blood levels after 100 mg bupivacaine-CO2 rose to 1.16 micrograms/ml after 5 min and reached a maximum after 15 min (1.29 micrograms/ml) as compared to 0.98 micrograms/ml after addition of ornithine-vasopressin. These values are very much higher than those after the use of bupivacaine-HCl solution. Etidocaine and bupivacaine-HCl have comparable durations of analgesia. Toxicologically, both substances can be applied safely with consideration of all pharmacological data for ICB. Of a total of 3,485 intercostal blockades, 2,775 were applied perioperatively (pre- and postoperatively); 265 were carried out for trauma patients (rib fractures) and 445 for therapeutic indications (herpes zoster neuralgia, tumor pain, costovertebral pain). In 8 blocks 10% ammonium sulfate, in 4 blocks absolute alcohol, and in 19 blocks 5% phenol were used for neurolysis. In 2 cases a marginal pneumothorax was seen, which was resorbed spontaneously (0.06%). Altogether 16,270 single intercostal nerves were blocked. Single-session intercostal blockade can be combined as unilateral analgesia with general anesthesia. This combination is characterized by stable circulatory conditions with avoidance of hypertensive reactions. The long-lasting analgesia allows early mobilization and physiotherapy both postoperatively and posttraumatically in patients with unilateral thoracic and abdominal pain.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Three patients with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) during the course of disseminated Herpes Varicella-Zoster (HVZ) virus infections are reported. In one patient and two previously reported patients, SIADH occurred at or shortly after admission, prior to antiviral drug therapy. In two patients and one previously reported patient, SIADH began or hyponatremia worsened after vidarabine therapy was begun. Therefore, SIADH may occur during the course of untreated, disseminated HVZ infection. However, the relatively high fluid volume required to dilute vidarabine may play a role in the development of the clinical and laboratory manifestations of SIADH, in patients receiving the drug. Physicians should avoid excess fluid intake and monitor serum sodium carefully when caring for patients with disseminated HVZ infections. Doses of vidarabine greater than 10 mg/kg/day may increase the likelihood of SIADH. Acyclovir therapy was not associated with worsening of hypotonic hyponatremia in our patients.

A patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who was previously treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy was seen with intestinal pseudoobstruction due to paralytic ileus associated with herpes zoster (varicella zoster) infection. The infection was accompanied by a polydermatomal rash with typical morphologic characteristics, followed by cutaneous dissemination and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), as well as myotomal paresis. The diagnosis was supported by cytology and by culture of the virus from the CSF. The isolation of the virus from the CSF, coupled with abnormalities of the patient's mental status and CSF, indicate that meningoencephalitis occurred and probably accounted for the SIADH. The patient had a spontaneous and complete recovery. To our knowledge, this is the first report of SIADH associated with herpes zoster infection.

The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) occurs in a number of diverse medical conditions. We report a case in which SIADH and herpes zoster of the chest wall occurred concurrently. In the absence of other recognized causes we suggest that the two conditions may have been related and speculate on possible mechanisms.

We report an autopsy case of granulomatous angiitis of the central nervous system (GANS) complicated by the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). A 88-year old female was admitted because of progressive mental deterioration, fever, and vomiting. A computed tomogram disclosed bilateral periventricular lucency, and a low-density area in the right occipital lobe. Laboratory studies during her hospital stay, revealed hyponatremia, hypoalbuminemia, and increased antidiuretic hormone. Treatment with antibiotics, hypertonic saline solution, and steroids, and water restriction was ineffective, and the patient died six weeks after admission. Autopsy examination of the brain revealed slightly turbid meninges with multiple small infarctions in the corona raiata of both cerebral hemispheres. Microscopic study disclosed granulomatous inflammation with many giant cells in the walls of small and medium sized vessels, and the adventitia and media were more involved than the intima. Their lumens were narrowed, and many thrombi were observed. Extensive non-granulomatous inflammatory change was found mainly in the subarachnoid space. All of these findings were similar to the GANS firstly reported by Cravioto et al, in 1959. Since the blood vessels in the central nervous system play an important part in any inflammatory conditions and the blood vessels may be involved by bacterial, fungal, parasitic or viral meningitis, various microorganisms have been suspected as the cause of GANS, including mycoplasma, herpes zoster, herpes simplex viruses, cytomegalovirus, and human T-lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III). Some reported cases have been associated with Hodgkin's disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. We could not identify any cause in our case.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Two rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) during the course of infection are herein reported. One patient developed SIADH during the course of a localized cutaneous herpes zoster infection while the other developed SIADH in conjunction with Staphylococcus simulans septicemia. We consider that the development of SIADH was strongly associated with superimposed infections in the underlying RA. This is the first report discussing the association of SIADH and infections in RA patients in which SIADH is diagnosed by measurement of plasma ADH.

The major causes of central diabetes insipidus are neoplastic or infiltrative lesions of the hypothalamus or pituitary, severe head injuries and pituitary or hypothalamic surgery. Central diabetes insipidus caused by viral infections has been rarely reported in immunosuppressed patients, such as those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or Cushing's syndrome. We report the case of a 48-year-old woman suffering from diffuse large cell lymphoma, who developed hypotonic polyuria, hypernatriaemia and somnolence after the first course of chemotherapy with CHOEP and rituximab. Diabetes insipidus was diagnosed by low urine osmolarity and an undetectable vasopressin concentration. MRI revealed no pituitary abnormalities but encephalitis, and lumbar punction confirmed herpes zoster infection. To the best of our knowledge this is the first description of central diabetes insipidus in a lymphoma patient caused by an opportunistic CNS-infection.

Localised herpes zoster infection ('shingles') in older patients is a common presentation to primary, and sometimes secondary, care physicians. However, symptoms of hyponatraemia, caused by the rare complication of 'syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion' (SIADH), may be mistaken for constitutional symptoms of the infection itself. Such patients may require closer monitoring or hospitalisation.
