Abstract
Serological evidence for hepatic cellular injury may occur during uncomplicated varicella. The magnitude of abnormalities may be helpful as a guide in the management of children with progressive varicella or varicella-associated Reye's syndrome, but liver function tests may be in the normal range. Viraemia was not detected during the acute stage of varicella-associated Reye's syndrome.
