Inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) preceding skin manifestations of disseminated varicella zoster virus infection post-BMT.

Abstract

We report the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) preceding the development of skin lesions of varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection in a patient with CML 5 months post-allogeneic BMT. This is the first report of SIADH complicating disseminated VZV infection in a BMT patient. SIADH is an unusual complication that may precede VZV infection post-BMT.
