Severe chickenpox disease and seroprevalence in Sweden – implications for general vaccination
Chickenpox is the clinical manifestation of primary infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV) and a mild disease in the vast majority of cases. However, complications occur, primarily bacterial infections of vesicles, sometimes with deeper infection and sepsis, as well as neurological complications; e.g. encephalitis, meningitis, or classically acute cerebellitis with ataxia. Rare complications such as pneumonitis, hepatitis and haemorrhagic complications may occur (Gershon et al., 2018). There is even an increased risk of stroke in the time period 6 months after a chickenpox episode (Thomas et al., 2014).

Mini-Review on SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Neurological Manifestations: A Perspective
CNS Neurol Disord Drug Targets. 2021 Jul 6. doi: 10.2174/1871527320666210706103422. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe coronavirus, also known as SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-19), with its rapid rate of transmission, has progressed with a great impact on respiratory function and mortality worldwide. The nasal cavity is the promising gateway of SARS-CoV-2 to reach the brain via systemic circulatory distribution. Recent reports have revealed that the loss of involuntary process of breathing control into the brainstem that results in death is a signal of neurological involvement. Early neurologica...
