Key result
Chickenpox was followed by proximal deep venous thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary embolism associated with antiphospholipid syndrome, which responded to prolonged anticoagulation.
Prolonged anticoagulation therapy was effective in treating an 11-year-old girl with DVT and PE associated with antiphospholipid syndrome following chickenpox.
Alerts clinicians to rare post-varicella APS thrombosis in children; leaves open confirmation and optimal management in larger studies.
