ABSTRACT

Varicella is a common viral childhood disease that is resolved without complications; when these complications are present they can be severe and have systemic manifestations of toxicity. A case of chicken pox complicated with necrotizing fasciitis that was treated surgically with good evolution is presented. It is very important that a physician recognizes this clinical entity to refer the patient to specialized treatment.
