 AB    We describe the case of a patient with AIDS who developed progressive
       myelopathy due to varicella-zoster virus 2 months before the appearance
       of skin lesions typical of herpes zoster. Varicella-zoster virus was
       isolated from his CSF. Therapy with acyclovir failed to control his
       neurological complications despite its in vitro efficacy against the
       isolates.
