✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A 27‐year‐old woman developed chickenpox postpartum. Her 2‐month‐old son who was breast fed also acquired chickenpox 16 days after the onset of the mother's illness. Varicella‐zoster virus (VZV) DNA was detected in maternal breast milk by the polymerase chain reaction. These results suggest that transmission of VZV may occur via maternal breast milk. © 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

On the basis of alterations in varicella-zoster virus (VZV) antibody titers, it appears that Bell's palsy in some patients could be associated with VZV reactivation, that is, zoster sine herpete. To obtain stronger evidence of this association, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect VZV
