Disseminated primary varicella zoster infection in renal transplant patients can result in severe and often fatal illness. The disease tends to be much more severe in adults with an 80% mortality in the only reported series (1). We report 3 cases of severe disseminated varicella zoster in adult renal transplant patients who all survived. Early diagnosis, institution of intravenous acyclovir 10 mg/kg tds, zoster immunoglobulin, cessation of azathioprine treatment and aggressive supportive care may improve an otherwise bleak prognosis.
