Disseminated varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection is a rare complication after renal transplantation in adults. We report 4 cases diagnosed in our transplant patients. One of which was a primary infection (chicken pox) with multivisceral involvement (hepatitis, pneumonitis, myocarditis, and disseminated intravascular coagulation). The other 3 patients VZV-seropositive before transplantation suffered from disseminated zoster. No immunosuppressive drug was significantly associated with a higher risk of disseminated VZV infection. However, from our experience, we believe that mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), plays a part in the clinical presentation of the disease. Early treatment with high doses of acyclovir is fundamental in infection control. It is essential to perform a pretransplantation serological VZV study on all patients.
