## Abstract The nested polymerase chain reaction was used to detect varicella zoster virus (VZV) DNA in 67 samples of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 39 otherwise healthy children with varicella. Eleven were during the incubation period and 56 were after appearance of rash. VZV DNA w
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
