Abstract
We report a case of lethal varicella developed in an immunocompromized man in his seventies. A study by immunohistochemistry and in situ hyb ridization was conducted revealing the presence of the glycoprotein gP I specific for VZV and its corresponding nucleic acids found in multip le foci of most tissues and organs, except in the brain and paraverteb ral sympathetic ganglia.
