Post Varicella Arterial Ischaemic Stroke in Denmark 2010-2016
Background: Varicella, most often a benign disease of childhood, is associated with an increased risk of arterial ischaemic stroke (AIS) in children. The aim of the present study was to estimate the incidence of post varicella AIS in the Danish child population and describe clinical characteristics of children admitted with post varicella AIS. Methods: In the Danish National Patient Register, we identified inpatients 28 days-16 years of age with a discharge diagnosis of stroke and/or cerebrovascular disease from 2010-2016.
