Pediatric varicella zoster virus associated arterial ischemic stroke – A post-pandemic rise in incidence in Denmark
The observed cluster of pediatric VZV-associated AIS cases post-COVID-19 restrictions and national survey data showed a rise in incidence which could reflect an increase in VZV disease due to diminished herd immunity post-COVID 19. The clinical presentations of VZV associated AIS were in keeping with previous reports and the clinical presentations were both unspecific and transient in character.
