In 1998, a varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein E (gE) mutant virus (VZV-MSP) was isolated from a child with chickenpox. VZV-MSP, representing a second VZV serotype, was considered a rarity. We isolated another VZV-MSP-like virus from an elderly man with herpes zoster. These gE mutant viruses may have arisen through independent mutation or may represent a distinct VZV subpopulation that emerged more than 50 years ago.
1998年，从一名患水痘的儿童体内分离出一种水痘-带状疱疹病毒糖蛋白E（gE）突变病毒（VZV-MSP）。VZV-MSP代表第二种水痘-带状疱疹病毒血清型，被认为很罕见。我们从一名患带状疱疹的老年男性体内分离出另一种类似VZV-MSP的病毒。这些gE突变病毒可能是通过独立突变产生的，也可能代表一个50多年前出现的独特的水痘-带状疱疹病毒亚群。
