Abstract
Live attenuated varicella zoster virus is administered to prevent varicella in children and herpes zoster in the elderly. We report a case of disseminated herpes zoster in a previously healthy elderly woman hours after Oka strain vaccination. PCR and restriction enzyme analysis revealed that symptoms were caused by wild type virus. Copyright 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.Entities:
