We report a case of nosocomial fatal varicella infection in a 13-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia complicated with staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome. His underlying leukemia, immunosuppressive drugs, disseminated varicella, S. aureus colonization, and acute renal insufficiency were all contributing factors that were pathogenetically linked in the development of his generalized SSSS.
