EXPERIMENTS FOR THE ISOLATION OF THE HERPES ZOSTER VIRUS

Abstract

From the vesicle fluid of eight herpes zoster patients six virus strains were isolated. On the basis of the cytopathogenic changes observable natively on fibroblast cultures, of the eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions, of the cell-bound nature of the infection and of the neutralization tests carried out with the patients' acute and convalescent sera and the demonstration of virus within the cell by means of the immunofluorescence method, the virus strains were proved to be herpes zoster virus strains.
