ABSTRACT
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) causes two diseases Varicella, a generalized, primary infection, and herpes zoster (zoster), a secondary infection caused by latent VZV reactivation. Zoster can also be caused by latent VZV reactivation after a varicella vaccination. The complications associated with varicella include cutaneous infections, which are the most common, as well as pulmonary and neurological involvement. However, a deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has been rarely described as a varicella-associated complication. Here, we describe the case of a child with varicella zoster who developed a DVT that completely resolved after intravenous acyclovir and subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparin treatment.
