Abstract
We examined the incidence of zoster in 346 children with underlying acute lymphoblastic leukemia who were immunized with live attenuated varicella vaccine while in remission. We also compared a subset of 84 of these children with a matched group of 84 children with leukemia who had had natural infection with varicella.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
