  • Title: [Preventive and therapeutic effect convalescent zona and varicella sera in high risk children (659 cases)].
    Author: Gaiffe M, Herzog F, Schweisguth O.
    Journal: Nouv Presse Med; 1976 May 15; 5(20):1285-8. PubMed ID: 59342.
    Abstract:
    Study of 659 cases treated with serum from patients convalescent after herpes zoster and chickenpox over a period of two and a half years in French hospital departments, showed the obvious effectiveness of this type of therapy which seems to be better than that of zoster specific gamma globulin used by other workers since we obtained protection against chickenpox in 90 p. cent of cases, and attenuation of chickenpox in 82 p. cent. It would seem that these results could be improved by increasing the doses used.
