Association of acute retinal necrosis with ischemic stroke
We report the case of a 65-year-old male patient with symptoms of acute retinal necrosis at the Department of Ophthalmology, Semmelweis University. The clinical picture fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) and after 3 days of the immediately initiated adequate therapy, contralateral hemiparesis appeared, that was confirmed as an ipsilateral stroke by imaging study. The PCR analysis of an intraocular sample confirmed the presence of VZV. Mild anti-VZV IgA positivity was observed in the cerebrospinal fluid sample. Based on the current ophthalmic disease, the associated stroke along...

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).

An Erratic Exanthem: Postvaricella Guillain-Barre Syndrome With Facial Diplegia
Varicella zoster (Chickenpox) usually occurs in childhood due to infection with varicella zoster virus. It manifests as an acute febrile exanthem which is usually self-limiting. Varicella zoster virus infection, in most cases, provides lifelong immunity to an individual after primary infection. In adults, primary varicella is uncommon, and most cases occur as a result of reactivation of the dormant virus. Subsequently, in adults, varicella infection can behave erratically to present with various unusual systemic and neurological complications, which are again uncommonly seen after primary varicella. The most common neurolo...
