RESUMO
Neurologic complications can occur with varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection, usually after vesicular exanthem. We report the case of a previously healthy 14-year-old boy with aseptic meningitis as a result of reactivated-VZV infection without exanthem. Diagnosis was made by detection of VZV-DNA in cerebrospinal fluid. VZV should be considered in cases of aseptic meningitis, even without a history of exanthem or immune compromise.
