It can hide in the digestive tract and cause unexplained stomach pains and bloating in adulthood. A new study conducted by researchers at Columbia University in the US, shows that the "Hide" chickenpox and sometimes cause stomach ulcers.
Scientists have long known that, after entering the body chickenpox (which occurs, both the symptoms and without) the virus may be locked in the nerve cells of the brain close to or spine. For most people, the virus lies there all his life, without causing any problems. But sometimes he breaks free, traveling with the nerve cells of the skin that causes shingles.
But US researchers found that varicella zoster virus also locked for some time and in the nerve cells of the esophagus. But when it comes to freedom there, and becomes the cause of pain and tissue damage. It can also be blamed for all sorts of unexplained disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome. Therefore, these states can try to cure agents against chickenpox.
"The idea of the chickenpox virus, which attacks the digestive system is totally new to medicine, - says study author Professor Michael Gershon. - Now we are trying to understand, first of all there are absolutely inexplicable in its origins disorders of the digestive tract to the consequences of the release of the virus."
