Postvaricella suppurative meningitis. Case reports and review of the literature
J. Singer
Suppurative meningitis should be recognized as being a complication of
varicella. The clinician must assiduously exclude suppurative meningitis
that at times may be clinically indistinguishable from the typical
postinfectious encephalomyelitis of varicella. Misdiagnosis of the cause of
CNS alterations during the course of varicella is possible.
