It’s not very common for Varicella, Epstein Barr and Citomegalovírus to reactivate like other virus of the herpesviridae, but it can happen. The mechanism is the same as HSV1 and HSV2.

Reactivation of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) Resolution may be followed by reactivation even after several years. The virus resides in basal ganglia and ganglions where it activates under • neurological conditions • medicines e.g. corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory therapy, chemotherapy • malnutrition • illness • aging • autoimmune diseases e.g. HIV, hypogammaglobulinemia • Kidney and bone marrow transplants
