Abstract

In a 82-year-old woman varicella zoster encephalitis was diagnosed, a rare complication of shingles. The case was remarkable for its rapid and fatal course in a patient without an underlying disease. At autopsy, the histological picture of an acute haemorrhagic encephalitis was seen, also a rare finding.
