Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The actual incidence of central nervous system complications with varicella ranges from 0.1 to 0.7% in several series and the time interval between the rash and the type of neurological manifestation varies widely. Cerebellar ataxia and hypotonia are the most common neurological abnormalities associated with varicella. We present a report on a 6-year-old girl with an unusual course of disease finally presenting a probable diagnosis of acute disseminated encephalitis.
