For the few reports in the literature, this
case is done with clinical and epidemiological
diagnostic of the hemorrhagic chickenpox
which was treated with antiviral,
immunoglobulins and antibiotics (for over
infection), with positive evolution. Chickenpox
is a virus primary infection VZV (varicella-
zoster) that generates a febrile illness
accompanied by a generalized rash.
Epidemic form occurs mainly in children
aged from 2 to 10 years, it is transmitted by
drops that come from the nasopharynx,
with a benign course. If there is immune
deficiency, the clinical form of hemorrhagic
varicella can occur with an unfavorable
outcome.
