Cerebral Venous Thrombosis and Acute Pulmonary Embolism following Varicella Infection.

Unlabelled: Varicella infection is caused by varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and commonly presents as a self-limiting skin manifestation in children. VZV also causes cerebral arterial vasculopathy and antibody-mediated hypercoagulable states leading to thrombotic complications in children, although there are very few such reports in adults. Postulated causal factors include vasculitis, direct endothelial damage, or acquired protein S deficiency secondary to molecular mimicry.
