Recurrent papular urticaria after varicella immunization in a fifteen-month-old girl.
Varicella-like rash after immunization with the live attenuated varicella vaccine is relatively common. Such vaccine-associated rashes generally consist of fewer lesions than occur in chickenpox. We describe a 15-month-old girl who experienced the onset of recurring papular urticaria after varicella immunization. The rash was varicella-like and thought by us to be caused by vaccine virus.
