title: [Detection of serum IgA antibodies to varicella zoster virus (VZV)--differential etiology of peripheral facial paralysis. A case report].
abstract: During the early manifestation of peripheral facial paralysis, VZV specific IgA antibodies were detected in the serum in a single case. In similar cases, this serological parameter should be tested for causal diagnosis in connection with early Aciclovir therapy.
