Abstract
The pathogenesis of varicella and zoster and the effects of antiviral treatment were investigated using real-time PCR for varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA in skin lesions and peripheral blood. A higher occurrence of viremic VZV DNA was observed in varicella than in zoster. Acyclovir treatment resulted in marked suppression of viremia in varicella.Entities:
