Abstract

Varicella (Chicken pox) is a common paediatric disease which usually self-limiting and resolves without sequelae. Complications are not common in immune-competent children. We present a series of three cases with rare complications following chicken pox, presented with distinct diagnoses,the etiology for which was established on the basis of history, examination and serological tests . The first two cases had neurological complications and the third case was a diagnosed case of hemophilia and presented with osteomylitis. All these complications developed following chicken pox. The cases responded differently to treatment and the patients were left with minimum disability.
