Transmission of atypical varicella-zoster virus infections involving palm and sole manifestations in an area with monkeypox endemicity

Clinical Infectious Diseases, Volume 48, No. 1, Year 2009

During a suspected monkeypox outbreak in the Republic of Congo, we documented transmission of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection with palm and sole manifestations among 5 family members. Genotyping results confirmed the VZV strain European E2, a genotype not previously reported in Africa. VZV with palm and sole involvement should be considered when differentiating a monkeypox diagnosis. © 2008 by the Infectious Diseases Society of America. All rights reserved.
