Neurologic Issues
Chickenpox can also cause some issues with your nervous system. One of the most severe neurological related to chickenpox is cerebellar ataxia, a childhood condition that might have many signs such as irritability, fever, speech impairment, and difficulty walking. These problems might persist for many days or weeks, and then resolve themselves. Another neurological complication is varicella meningoencephalitis, which is an infection that leads to inflamed and swollen membranes protecting your nervous system’s structures. The people who are at the highest risk of these conditions are those who have a weakened immune system, such as patients with HIV or other infections. [5]
