Chickenpox Vaccine Rash
December 30th 2006 09:37
Quinlivan, et al., have isolated the alleles responsible for a rash associated with the chickenpox vaccine.
Only 5% of children receiving the vaccine develop the rash, but it can sometimes be fatal. The researchers believe that by removing virus genotypes with certain alleles, the rash can be prevented.
