Encephalitis associated with varicella-zoster virus, rare among children in the varicella vaccine era, has generally been associated with a rash.

Varicella-zoster virus encephalitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis for children presenting with acute neurologic symptoms, even vaccine recipients.
