Varicella vaccine strain infection in a non-immunocompromised patient. A case report and review of literature.

Varicella live attenuated vaccine led to a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality from varicella zoster disease. Vaccine adverse effects are mostly mild. Immunosuppression is the main risk factor for severe varicella. Risk factors for disease following vaccination are less studied. We report a 12-month-old infant with no T-cell immunodeficiency who developed severe varicella infection by vaccine strain.
