Chickenpox is an infectious disease caused by the Varicella-Zostervirus (VZV), this is a virus in the family of Herpesviridae. It’s characterized by fever, skin rash and mucocutaneous rash. Chickenpox is widely distributed disease with varying in age, seasons, climate, and resident of people . Mother-to-child transmission of the virus can occur during pregnancy, during delivery and after birth. In people who have had chickenpox, after the cure, a few viruses exist in the nerves sensing the spine in the form of latent, silent. When conditions are favorable (triggers) such as immunodeficiency, stress, radiation therapy, cancer, HIV infection ... the virus reacts, multiplies and spreads, causing inflammation and necrosis of the nerve in shingles (Zona). Chickenpox is a benign disease but it can also cause many complications in severe cases and which is not properly treated. Complications of dermatitis due to bacterial superinfection, the peanut note to pus, when cured can leave scar. In patients with severe malnutrition, nodules may be necrotic. The most severe complication is encephalitis, meningitis that are very dangerous, which can cause dead if delayed to hospital and emergency care is not timely. The disease can spread rapidly in the community, but there are active measures to prevent chicken pox, which is vaccination. Key words: Chickenpox, Varicella-Zostervirus (VZV)

The Cost

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the yield and cost effectiveness of transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) in the assessment of mediastinal and/or hilar lymphadenopathy.DESIGN: Retrospective study.SETTING: A university hospital.POPULATION STUDIED: Ninety-six patients referred for bronchoscopy with computed tomographic evidence of significant mediastinal or hilar adenopathy.RESULTS: Ninety-nine patient records were reviewed. Three patients had two separate bronchoscopy procedures. TBNA was positive in 42 patients (44%) and negative in 54 patients. Of the 42 patients with a positive aspirate, 40 had malignant cytology and two had cells consistent with benign disease. The positive TBNA result altered management in 22 of 40 patients with malignant disease and one of two patients with benign disease, thereby avoiding further diagnostic procedures. The cost of these subsequent procedures was estimated at $27,335. No complications related to TBNA were documented.CONCLUSIONS: TBNA is a high-yield, safe and cost effective procedure for the diagnosis and staging of bronchogenic cancer.

Localized Cystic Disease of the Kidney (LCDK) is an extremely rare benign disease in pediatric population. Although its management is conservative and generally requires no treatment, the unfamiliarity with the disease can expose such patients to misdiagnosis as renal malignancies or uncertainty for proper treatment. We report such a case in an infant and review the current literature.
