BACKGROUND
It is the purpose of this article to describe a suspected association of inadvertent vaccination with varicella vaccine during early pregnancy with the subsequent development of in utero miliary fetal tissue calcifications and fetal hydrops detected by sonogram at 15 weeks of
We describe the case of a male newborn infant, whose mother developed varicella 20 days before delivery. At 2 hours of life the infant's general state suddenly deteriorated and he presented cyanosis, respiratory distress and emission of pink foam in his mouth. The infant was diagnosed with bilateral
The purpose of the study was to report a case of focal trichiasis causing full-thickness corneal edema, scarring, and endothelial cell loss requiring penetrating keratoplasty (PK). A 66-year-old male was referred for trichiasis of the right upper eyelid corresponding to an area of full-thickness
A 4-year-old male developed encephalitis 2 weeks after the onset of varicella. During his evaluation neuroradiologic procedures documented cerebellar edema and demyelination. Cerebrospinal fluid titers confirmed varicella encephalitis. To our knowledge, this patient is the first reported with focal
We report a previously well 14-year-old male who developed left-sided hemiconvulsion, urinary retention and hemiplegia 1 months after varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection. Brain T2-weighted MRI showed hyperintensity in medial fronto-parietal area including cyngulate gyrus, foot division of the
Chicken pox infection in the first and early in the second trimester can lead to intrauterine infection and a 2% risk of developing congenital varicella syndrome (CVS). CVS is characterized by one or more of the following malformations: hypoplasia of a limb, scarring of the skin, microcephaly,
The addition of silver sulfadiazine to cultures of varicella zoster virus resulted in inactivation of the viral infectivity. At a concentration of 10 micrograms/ml or higher the virus was inactivated after thirty minutes exposure at 37 degrees C. Forty-two patients with herpes zoster were treated
UNASSIGNED
To report a case of varicella zoster virus associated neuroretinitis confirmed via polymerase chain reaction analysis of ocular fluid.

A 30-year-old man presented with a 1-week history of decreased vision in his left eye and ulcerative skin lesions above his left eyebrow. On
Immunocompromised patients are at increased risk for CNS and disseminated varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection. In this report we present the MR findings in a leukemic patient with active, biopsy-proven VZV leukoencephalitis. The characteristic MR features of this infection were clustered
Although varicella is one of the most common infectious diseases in the United States, systemic and ocular complications are rare. We report a patient who developed disciform edema followed by microdendritic keratitis 1 and 2 months, respectively, after resolution of the acute phase of varicella.
The female patient, convalescent after varicella, presented in the tenth day after disappearance of the cutaneous eruption the first ocular symptoms with perikeratic congestion, endothelial precipitations, folds of the Descemet membrane, thick stroma, endothelial edema with appearance like
Chickenpox may lead to several neurological complications. Optic neuritis is one of the complications which has rarely been described, especially in immunocompetent individuals. We report a case of an 11-year-old immunocompetent girl who presented with sudden onset bilateral vision loss three weeks
Varicella zoster virus-associated neuroretinitis is rare. We report a patient who presented with blurred vision of the left eye and extraocular movement pain. A fundoscopic examination revealed disc edema, hyperemia, and macular edema. The impression was neuroretinitis. Intravenous
