Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Hematology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Varicella gangrenosa is a severe bacterial superinfection of varicella lesions.
  • Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a life-threatening condition characterized by widespread clotting and bleeding.

Observation:

  • A four-year-old girl presented with clinical signs of varicella gangrenosa.
  • Hematological investigations revealed evidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Findings:

  • The patient subsequently developed a unilateral deep venous thrombosis (DVT).
  • Treatment involved oral corticosteroids and intravenous heparin administration.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for severe thrombotic complications in varicella gangrenosa.
