Abstract

Chicken pox is mostly a benign infection of childhood and is caused by Varicella Zoster Virus which generally does not lead to any serious complication in an immunocompetent host. Severe and potentially lethal complications like varicella pneumonia, encephalitis and acute kidney injury are known entity in adults but are very rare in paediatric age group. We present a case of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in the form of tubulointerstitial nephritis induced by varicella infection in a young immunocompetent child with varicella pneumonia.
