Peripheral blood mononuclear cells harboring viral gene sequences were detected during primary varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection of the human host and the strain 2 guinea pig by in situ hybridization with a /sup 3/H-labeled VZV DNA probe. Activated T lymphocytes were permissive for VZV infection at low frequency in vitro.
