The new coronavirus infection COVID-1 9 in children generally proceeds favorably, but in combination with other acute infectious diseases and in persons with background pathology and impaired immune reactivity may pose a particular threat.The article presents a clinical case of chickenpox, complicated by meningoencephalitis and cerebral edema, in combination with COVID-1 9 in a 5-year-old child. Chickenpox was not quite typical: against the background of febrile temperature, there was a scanty spot-papular rash with single vesicles that appeared later, the absence of elements on the mucous membranes and the development of neurological symptoms in the first day of the disease. CОVID-1 9 was characterized by a wave-like course with fever up to 39,1 °C, tonsillitis phenomena and inflammatory changes in the blood test.
Diseases caused by herpesviruses are among the socially significant ones, which is determined by their wide distribution, polymorphism of clinical manifestations and severity of the course up to the development of lethal outcomes.The article presents literature data on the importance of the problem of lesions of the nervous system in herpesvirus infections at the present stage and the results of our own observations of 60 patients hospitalized in the Infectious Clinical Hospital of Yaroslavl in the period from 2015 to 2021. The analysis of the main clinical and laboratory indicators was carried out and the features of the course of lesions of the nervous system in herpesvirus infections were established.
