Varicella infection in children is a common self-limited illness with neurological complications in less than 0.1% of cases. Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) is uncommon in children following infection with varicella-zoster virus. We describe a case of 13-yr immunocompetent girl with LETM following varicella infection shown a dramatic clinical response to a combination of acyclovir and pulse steroids.
儿童水痘感染是一种常见的自限性疾病，神经系统并发症的发生率低于0.1%。纵向广泛横贯性脊髓炎（LETM）在儿童感染水痘-带状疱疹病毒后并不常见。我们描述了一例13岁免疫功能正常的女孩，在水痘感染后发生LETM，对阿昔洛韦和脉冲类固醇联合治疗表现出显著的临床反应。
