Prevalence and Distribution of VZV in Temporal Arteries of Patients with Giant Cell
Neurol 84:1948-1955, Gilden, D.,et al, 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Most GCA-positive TAs contained VZV in skip areas that correlated with adjacent GCA pathology, supporting the hypothesis that VZV triggers GCA immunopathology. Antiviral treatment may confer additional benefit to patients with GCA treated with corticosteroids, although the optimal antiviral regimen remains to be determined.
