INTRODUCTION
Varicella zoster virus infection causes chickenpox in pediatric and adult immunocompetent patients. Chickenpox is usually a milder disease but can lead to serious neurological and respiratory complications and soft tissue infection.1 Less than 1% of children and 1.3% of adult patients with chicken pox will be complicated into necrotizing fasciitis.2Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare but potentially fatal skin and soft tissue infection and a surgical and medical emergency.3 We report a case of post chickenpox necrotizing fasciitis in an immunocompetent female adult patient.
