Varicella and perforation of the stomach

G Paret et al. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 1990 Jan.

Abstract

Involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is rare in varicella. We report a previously healthy young girl with perforation of the stomach that appeared to be a complication of varicella. Varicella inclusion bodies were demonstrated at the site of gastric perforations. On surgery, an organoaxial volvulus of the stomach was demonstrated.
