Low Varicella Zoster Virus Seroprevalence Among Young Children in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Conclusion: Our data suggest that VZV is circulating in DRC, and seropositivity is low among children 6–59 months. Seropositivity increased with age and varied by other sociodemographic factors, such as geographic location. This study provides the first nationally representative estimates of VZV infection among children in the DRC.
