Skin test with Varicella-zoster virus antigen on herpes zoster patients
Abstract:
Intracutaneous injection of Varicella-zoster (V-Z) viral antigen was performed on 55 patients with herpes zoster. All of them reacted positively after 10 days. The patients in the acute stage responded weakly wereas those in the convalescent phase developed a stronger reaction. The intensity of the reaction did not correlate with the number of days of illness. Positive reactions were observed in those patients who had suffered from herpes zoster several years ago. Complement fixing antibody titers did not parallel the intensity of skin reaction.
