A CLINICAL CASE OF CHICKENPOX ENCEPHALITIS
Chickenpox is a highly contagious infectious disease that affects children everywhere. Half of the patients are children aged 5 to 9 years, the other two peaks of morbidity occur at the age of 1 to 4 years and at the age of 10-14 years.
Despite the fact that chickenpox usually proceeds easily, but 0.1-0.2% of patients develop complications from the central nervous system. Lesions of the nervous system can be of various localization – encephalitis, encephalitic reactions, polyradiculoneuritis, serous meningitis. In children, a characteristic lesion of the central nervous system in chickenpox is encephalitis, which in this disease occurs with a frequency of 0.06 to 0.1% and more often, can occur in two clinical forms that differ from each other in terms of onset, clinical and morphological changes: cerebellar and cerebral forms of chickenpox encephalitis [3,5,6]. More typical is the cerebellar form of encephalitis, which proceeds benign with the predominance of ataxia syndrome in the clinic. A clinical case from practice suggests that in recent years, complications of chickenpox in the form of encephalitis have not been excluded.
Despite the effective possibilities of prevention and treatment of chickenpox in modern conditions, there is still an urgent problem of treatment of a complicated form of this disease – chickenpox encephalitis, which has a more severe course in both adults and children. [1,2,9]
Aim: to get acquainted with the clinical manifestations of chickenpox encephalitis, changes in laboratory parameters on the example of a clinical case. This clinical case is described on the basis of a medical record of an inpatient patient – one patient. The study was conducted on the basis of the Infectious Diseases Hospital of Semey. The diagnosis of chickenpox encephalitis was made on the basis of clinical, epidemiological and laboratory data.
