Monoclonal antibodies were used for detecting varicella-zoster virus (VZV) by immunofluorescence (IF) i n clinical specimens inoculated on shell vial cultures. Vesicles of 74 patients with varicella or herpes zoster-like eruptions were tested by this method and by conventional cell culture. Further
