A healthy adult presented with severe neurological disturbance 4 d after developing chicken-pox. Although pneumonic and renal problems were also present the neurological state dominated the clinical picture. After the patient's sudden death an autopsy revealed that renal and cerebral problems were secondary to myocardial involvement. This was of an unusual type for varicella with features of dilated cardiomyopathy resembling that previously related to Coxsackie infections. We conclude that cardiac problems in this patient produced anoxic brain damage and subsequently death.
一名健康成年人在患水痘4天后出现严重神经功能障碍。尽管同时存在肺部和肾脏问题，但神经状态在临床表现中占主导。患者突然死亡后，尸检显示肾脏和脑部问题继发于心肌受累。这是水痘所致的一种不寻常类型，具有扩张型心肌病的特征，类似于先前与柯萨奇感染相关的情况。我们得出结论，该患者的心脏问题导致缺氧性脑损伤并随后死亡。
