ABSTRACT
Chickenpox is an infectious disease mainly caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV). Cervical lymphadenopathy is a common problem encountered in pediatric patients and is mostly attributable to bacterial and viral infectious etiologies. Vesicular rash, headache, fever, and myalgia lasting up to 10 days are some of the most usual symptoms of this condition. Here, we have described a case of a 5year old girl, suffering from chicken pox along with cervical lymphadenopathy.
