## 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
## Abstract The general use of the varicella vaccine requires the surveillance of varicellaβzoster virus (VZV) strains in patients infected with VZV. This paper reports the data achieved from a prospective study of genotyping VZV in Germany, analyzing the restriction fragment length polymorphism (R
Varicella zoster-virus (VZV) is a humanpathogenic alpha-Herpesvirus that causes chickenpox after primary infection. The virus spreads by aerosol or direct contact with infectious vesical fluids, it enters the body via the respiratory tract. In a first viremic stage it replicates in local lymph nodes
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
