Abstract

Varicella is a common, usually self-limited infectious disease, and complications are believed to be rare. Despite the dramatic increase in invasive Streptococcus pyogenes infections associated with varicella zoster virus infections in recent years, post-varicella S. pyogenes meningitis occurs very rarely. The third case in the literature is described here.

摘要

水痘是一种常见的、通常为自限性的传染病，并发症被认为很罕见。尽管近年来与水痘带状疱疹病毒感染相关的侵袭性化脓性链球菌感染显著增加，但水痘后化脓性链球菌脑膜炎却极为罕见。本文描述了文献中的第三例病例。
