Jae Hong Kim, Dae Hyun Kwon, E Young Bae, Seung Beom Han, Jae Wook Lee, Nack Gyun Chung, Dae Chul Jeong, Bin Cho, Jin Han Kang, Hack Ki Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2014;57(8):370-373.   Published online August 25, 2014

Varicella-zoster virus infection can lead to severe illness in immunocompromised patients. Further the mortality rate of disseminated varicella infection is extremely high particularly in immunocompromised children. We report a case of disseminated varicella infection in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who was receiving chemotherapy, but was initially admitted with only for acute abdominal pain. The patient rapidly developed severe...

A case of acute aseptic meningitis associated with herpes zoster
Myong A Kim, Rita Miyoung Yu, Kee Hyuck Kim, Hee Jung Chung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(6):705-709.   Published online June 15, 2009
Herpes zoster is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which affects nerve ganglions. VZV infection may be associated with neurologic complications, which are usually observed after vesicular exanthem. Acute aseptic meningitis is a rare complication of VZV reactivation. We report the case of a previously healthy 14-year-old boy who suffered from aseptic meningitis that was attributed to reactivated VZV infection...
A case of acute transverse myelitis following chickenpox
Min Young Kim, Eun Sook Suh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(3):380-384.   Published online March 15, 2009
Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) in most patients is characterized by an abrupt onset of progressive weakness and sensory disturbance in the lower extremities with a preceding viral infection such as Epstein-Barr, herpes simplex, influenza, mumps and Varicella-zoster viruses (VZV). Although less frequent, some residual deficits including bladder dysfunction or weakness in the lower extremities may follow ATM, from which recovery...

Humoral and Cell Mediated Immune Response After Immunization with Varicella Vaccine(Oka/LG)
Young Mo Sohn, Hye Ok Roh, Mi Lim Goo, Bok Ryeon Park, Joo Hong Park, Gook Jin Lim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(2):170-178.   Published online February 15, 1998
Purpose : We evaluated the humoral and cellular immune response to varicella-zoster virus after vaccination with varicella vaccine(Oka/LG strain). Methods : The seroprevalence rate of fluorescent antibody to membrane antigen(FAMA) was evaluated among 178 children and 15 adults. After vaccination, seroconversion rate of FAMA, varicella-zoster virus(VZV) specific IgG and cell mediated immune response to glycoprotein Ⅰwas performed. Results : The seropositive rate...
Varicella-zoster Antibody Titer in Neonates according to Gestational Age
Ji Young Rhou, Eun Yae Park, Kyung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(3):311-318.   Published online March 15, 1995
Purpose : Acquisition of varicella by the neonate as a result of congenital varicella-zoster infection or exposure during delivery is well known. And it generaly believed that infants under 6 months of age may acquire varicella more frequently than other viral infections such as measles. However, little if known about immune mechanism of varicella-zoster infection. Transfer maternal antibodies to this...
