Abstract

Varicella is a primary disease of varicella zoster virus (VZV), which is among the human herpes viruses. Chickenpox is a disease that can be easily transmitted by airway, droplet and direct contact to the infected person. Skin lesions after varicella infection are the most common com-plication of staphylococcal or streptococcal secondary infections. Occa-sionally, necrotizing fasciitis and severe skin defects develop afterwards. Pneumonia, carditis, hepatitis, glomerulonephritis, encephalitis are among the criminal commissions. Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSR) is a severe clinical picture of one of the group of streptococcal invasive infections, with sudden and rapid onset of shock and organ failure, with a mortality rate of 30-50%. In this study, we present a case of STSR which is a rare and life-threatening clinical entity that develops rarely after varicella infection.

Özet

Suçiçeği, insan herpes virüsleri arasında yer alan varisella zoster virü-sünün (VZV) birincil bir hastalığıdır. Suçiçeği enfekte olan kişiden hava yolu, damlacık ve direkt temas ile kolaylıkla bulaşabilir bir hastalıktır. Suçiçeği enfeksiyonu sonrası deri lezyonlarının stafilokok ya da strep-tokoklarla ikincil enfeksiyonu hastalığın en sık görülen komplikasyo-nudur. Bazen nekrotizan fasiit ve sonrasında gelişen ağır cilt defektleri de görülebilir. Pnömoni, kardit, hepatit, glomerülonefrit, ensefalit ise suçiçeğinin diğer komplikasyonları arasındadır. Streptokokal toksik şok sendromu (STŞS), A grubu streptokokların invaziv enfeksiyonlarından birisi olup, ani ve hızlı bir başlangıçla birlikte şok ve organ yetmezliği ile kendini gösteren ve mortalitesi %30-50 olan ağır bir klinik tablodur. Bu çalışmada suçiçeği enfeksiyonu sonrası nadiren gelişen, ağır ve hayatı tehdit eden klinik bir tabloya neden olan STŞS benzeri olgu sunulacaktır.
