Disseminated Varicella Infection Caused by Varicella Vaccine Strain in a Child With Low Invariant Natural Killer T Cells and Diminished CD1d Expression

Abstract

This report provides a further link between deficiency of the iNKT/CD1d pathway and increased susceptibility to varicella vaccine virus, suggesting an important role of this innate pathway in host defense against yet another member of the herpesvirus family.
