The cells from which the virus was isolated were nonphagocytic and did not adhere to the surface of plates. The results indicate lymphocyte-associated viremia at the time of onset of varicella.

The availability of cloned varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA probes allows rapid detection of viral-specific DNA by "dot-blot" hybridization in lymphocytes or in lesion aspirates. Thirty-six blood specimens were obtained from 25 patients with suspected varicella or zoster. VZV-specific DNA was demons
