Abstract
Clinical and serologic evidence of varicella developed in an 8-year-old boy while he was receiving azathioprine and steroids for immunosuppression 16 months after renal homotransplantation. The clinical course was benign, and no adverse effects on renal function were observed in relation to the clinical varicella.
