  • Title: The future of varicella vaccine.
    Author: Plotkin SA, Arbetter AA, Starr SE.
    Journal: Postgrad Med J; 1985; 61 Suppl 4():155-62. PubMed ID: 3014474.
    Abstract:
    Based on conservative figures, an estimated 60 million varicella-zoster cases occur annually worldwide, highlighting the global significance of this disease. The development of a viable varicella vaccine, therefore, raises important questions as to the indications for its use in normal children, normal seropositive and seronegative adults, and immunocompromised patients. A review of the available data addresses the potential future role of the varicella vaccine in these groups.
