pubmed:abstractText
A boy 13 year-old suffered an extremely severe and prolonged attack of hemorrhagic chickenpox with visceral involvement, the diagnosis being confirmed by isolation of varicella-zoster-virus (VZV). There was no other compromising disease. All preceding vaccinations including two against smallpox had been uneventful. The severity of the attack could not be ascribed to any persistent cellular or humoral immunodeficiency. The patient developed a good antibody response. The course of serological reactions to VZV infection was studied extensively using the different techniques of complement fixation and immunofluorescence for IgG, IgM, and IgA antibodies. Therapy was conducted cautiously using cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) between the 10th and 17th day of disease; the temperature fell and VZV multiplication ceased, strongly suggesting a beneficial influence on the patient, who recovered completely.
