of varicella-vaccine virus from a healthy 12-month-old child to his pregnant mother. J

Angeles School of Medicine, USA
A 12-month-old healthy boy had approximately 30 vesicular skin lesions 24 days after
receiving varicella vaccine. Sixteen days later his pregnant mother had 100 lesions.
Varicella-vaccine virus was identified by polymerase chain reaction in the vesicular
lesions of the mother. After an elective abortion, no virus was detected in the fetal
tissue. This case documents transmission of varicella-vaccine virus from a healthy
12-month-old infant to his pregnant mother. Comments: Comment in: J Pediatr 1997 Jul;131(1

cerebellar ataxia with abnormal MRI lesions after varicella vaccination.Pediatr
Neurol. 1995 Nov;13(4):340-2.PMID: 8771172 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
A 2-year-old boy, with the primary difficulties of
nausea and vomiting, developed a staggering gait and dysarthria 10 days after
varicella vaccination. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated multiple areas
of high signal intensity in the white matter of the cerebellum, predominantly
in the parieto-occipital white matter and both globus pallidi. He did not
present any signs of myelitis or encephalitis and thus his cerebellar
dysfunction was diagnosed as acute cerebellar ataxia, which is, generally
speaking, not an etiologic entity but a clinical syndrome. Magnetic resonance
imaging may reveal a variety of abnormalities of the central nervous system in
acute cerebellar ataxia.
