Rapid contamination with varicella‐zoster virus DNA to the throat of a daycare attendee and environmental surfaces from a child with varicella

described in family,1,2 hospital3–5 and institutional6,7 settings. Epidemiological and virological observations suggest that the infection occurs after exposure to aerosolized varicellazoster virus (VZV) or direct contact with patients with varicella or herpes zoster. In this report, we show that contamination with VZV DNA was found in the throat of a daycare attendee and on environmental surfaces approximately 4 h after recognizing the onset of varicella in a child at a daycare center. Additionally, as reported previously,2,3 it was found that a secondary outbreak of varicella did not occur at the daycare center after immediate inoculation of the remaining children with a live varicella vaccine.
