Abstract
Although thrombocytopenia is a rarely observed complication following chickenpox, it can lead to serious bleeding problems. In order to underline rare hematologic complications of varicella infection and the importance of vaccination, here we reported a seven year old boy who developed severe thrombocytopenia during varicella infection and gave good response to intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.

Abstract
Trombositopeni suçiçeği enfeksiyonu seyrinde nadiren görülen fakat ciddi kanamalara neden olabilen bir komplikasyondur. Burada varisella zoster enfeksiyonu sırasında ağır trombositopeni gelişen ve intravenöz immun globulin tedavisi ile düzelen 7 yaşındaki erkek hasta varisellanın hematolojik komplikasyonlarla seyredebileceği ve aşılamanın önemini vurgulamak için sunulmuştur.
