Reinfection of previously "immune" patients with varicella-zoster virus can result in recurrent chickenpox. However, relapses of chickenpox are not well recognized. We describe a young man with lymphoma who rapidly developed multiple, discrete relapses of chickenpox each time therapy with acyclovir was stopped. His cutaneous infection eventually became unremitting, despite continuous treatment with acyclovir. No evidence ever suggested visceral dissemination of varicella. The patient died suddenly; the cause of death was not determined.
先前具有“免疫力”的患者感染水痘-带状疱疹病毒可导致水痘复发。然而，水痘复发并未得到充分认识。我们描述了一名患有淋巴瘤的年轻男子，每次停用阿昔洛韦治疗时，他都会迅速出现多次、散在的水痘复发。尽管持续使用阿昔洛韦治疗，他的皮肤感染最终仍持续不愈。没有证据表明水痘发生了内脏播散。患者突然死亡，死因未明。
