Severe skin complications of varicella in previously healthy children in Iran: emerging concern
Our study highlights the spectrum of severe varicella-related skin complications and underscores the importance of prompt recognition and management to prevent morbidity and optimize outcomes. Further research and analysis of varicella epidemiology in Iran are essential to evaluate the benefits and feasibility of integrating the varicella-zoster vaccine into the national immunization program.
