Chickenpox (varicella) is generally considered a childhood disease. Although adults account for only 1.5 percent of patients affected, they account for 27.6 percent of total deaths. We report on a 25-year-old white man who died of varicella. We hope that this report will alert the physician to the serious nature of primary varicella infection in adults.
水痘通常被认为是一种儿童疾病。尽管成年人仅占受影响患者的1.5%，但他们却占总死亡人数的27.6%。我们报告了一名死于水痘的25岁白人男性。我们希望这份报告能提醒医生注意成人原发性水痘感染的严重性。
