Conjunctivitis secondary to chickenpox: A case report

Abstract

Chickenpox is a common benign disease that is typically characterized by vesicular rashes. The disease is more common in children. Ocular complications of the chickenpox are rare. Vesicular eyelid lesions, conjunctivitis and corneal lesions are seen in almost 4% of chickenpox cases.

Here, we report on a rare case of conjunctivitis secondary to chickenpox.
