An outbreak of nosocomial varicella occurred in the neonatal intensive care unit of a west Texas hospital in 1982. Two health care workers and two infants were infected. The two infants acquired varicella following intimate exposures, although their mothers were shown to be seropositive. One of these infants had varicella-zoster antibody when exposed, received varicella-zoster immune globulin, and still had chickenpox develop. Thus, the presence of varicella-zoster antibody may not prevent infection in infants.
1982年，得克萨斯州西部一家医院的新生儿重症监护病房发生了一起医院内水痘暴发事件。两名医护人员和两名婴儿被感染。尽管这两名婴儿的母亲血清学检测呈阳性，但他们在密切接触后感染了水痘。其中一名婴儿在接触时有水痘 - 带状疱疹抗体，接受了水痘 - 带状疱疹免疫球蛋白治疗，但仍患上了水痘。因此，水痘 - 带状疱疹抗体的存在可能无法预防婴儿感染。
