Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the cause of varicella and zoster, is divided into five major clades and four provisional clades, the latter of which have been rarely reported worldwide to date. We present a varicella outbreak by the provisional clade VI within an Indian couple in Germany returning from a trip to Amsterdam. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of varicella by the VZV clade VI described in Germany, but the disease was acquired in The Netherlands.
水痘带状疱疹病毒(VZV)是水痘和带状疱疹的病原体,分为五个主要分支和四个暂定分支,后者迄今为止在全球范围内鲜有报道。我们报告了一对从阿姆斯特丹旅行归来的德国印度裔夫妇中由暂定分支VI引起的水痘暴发疫情。据我们所知,这是德国首例由VZV分支VI引起的水痘病例,但感染发生在荷兰。
