Özet

Chickenpox is a contagious, but typically mild, childhood illness characterized by an itchy rash. It is caused by the varicella zoster virus, which can provide the basis for a secondary bacterial infection. In this report, the case of a 6-year-old boy with preseptal cellulitis as a complication of varicella is presented to emphasize the fact that the illness may lead to severe complications that may require hospitalization.
