Varicella zoster encephalomyeitis is a rare complication of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection. Because of its nonspecific clinical presentation, VZV encephalomyelitis is under recognized. It was traditionally thought that varicella Zoster virus encephalomyelitis was a disease of the immunocompromised, however there have been increasing numbers involving immunocompetent patients as more clinicians utilize cerebrospinal (CSF) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique and antibody studies to diagnose VZV as a cause for neurologic disease. To date, there have been only a few case reports of VZV encephalomyelitis involving immunocompetent patients. Here we present the case study of a 15 year-old male patient who presented with altered sensorium in a tertiary care hospital in Haryana (India). Upon workup the patient turned up to be a case of VZV encephalomyelitis.
