LEARNING POINTS:
Varicella infection caused by varicella-zoster virus (VZV) can rarely present with thrombotic complications after a period of latency.Postulated causal factors include vasculitis, direct endothelial damage, and acquired protein S deficiency secondary to molecular mimicry.The prognosis of post- varicella thrombosis is good, but a prothrombotic screen after recovery to diagnose hereditary prothrombotic states is advisable.
