Abstract
Primary varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection and herpes zoster are important infectious complications after an allogeneic hemopoietic progenitors transplant (HPT). The authors describe a girl with second relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia who received an HPT at age 13 years. Two years after the HPT she started a revaccination program of routine childhood vaccines. With each course of vaccines she developed herpes zoster of the C6 dermatome, initially with the rash and later zoster sine herpete. The vaccinations appear to have triggered VZV reactivation by vaccine-induced immunomodulation in this HPT recipient.
