✦ Synopsis

In the period June 1980-April 1983, 21 children with malignant disease were admitted because of an intercurrent varicella or zoster infection. They were treated with the new antiviral drug BVDU [(E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'deoxyuridine]. The drug was administered orally at a dose of 15mg/kg per day for 5 days. All our patients responded promptly to BVDU treatment and recovered completely from their varicella or zoster infections without complications. No toxic side-effects due to the drug were observed.

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) was isolated from 29 samples of the vesicular fluid in 13 otherwise healthy children with varicella who were aged from 7 months to 7 years. Human embryonic lung cells were used for viral isolation, and VZV was identified by a characteristic cytopathic effect and an indir
