Abstract
To describe the spectrum of neurological complications in children with varicella and against the background of herpes zoster. The study included children at the age of 0—16 years (n = 84), who recovered from exanthematous form of the disease not longer than 21 day before the appearance of neurological symptoms (n = 82) or presented with herpes zoster (n = 2). Results: Clinical syndromes included acute cerebellar ataxia (n = 37), meningoencephalitis (n = 34), meningitis (n = 7), polyradiculoneuropathy (n = 4), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (n = 1), and ischemic stroke (n = 1). The period from varicella onset to the appearance of neurological symptoms was 6 [5;8] days. We have not lethal cases. Аcute cerebellar ataxia is most common postvaricella complication in children.
