Abstract
Varicella is a common, usually self-limited infectious disease, and complications are believed to be rare. Despite the dramatic increase in invasive Streptococcus pyogenes infections associated with varicella zoster virus infections in recent years, post-varicella S. pyogenes meningitis occurs very rarely. The third case in the literature is described here.
