AbstractNecrotising fasciitis (NF) can complicate varicella zoster virus in children. This is rare and has not previously been reported in the plastic surgery literature. We report a case of a female toddler who developed necrotising fasciitis secondary to chicken pox. Her presentation and progress are reported, the diagnosis of necrotising fasciitis in children and the small number of case series and case control studies are discussed.Copyright © 2010 British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons.
