Abstract

Varicella is a highly contagious and usually self-limiting systemic infection characterized by generalized pruritic rash. The most frequent complications of varicella in normal hosts are bacterial superinfections and central nervous system complications. Arthritis has been rarely reported. An 8-year-old previously healthy boy is presented in this report. The patient had monoarthritis three days after varicella. Arthrocentesis was performed and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) polymerase chain reaction of the synovial fluid yielded VZV. After treatment with intravenous acyclovir, his arthritis recovered. He has been on follow up without any sequela.
