[Varicella: previously healthy children sometimes develop complications].

Three healthy boys, 3.5, 5 and 1.5 years of age, were admitted to hospital with a severe bacterial skin infection, cerebellar ataxia, and pneumonia, respectively, one week after the onset of varicella. They recovered completely after treatment. Studies in Europe report complications from varicella in 2.5% of healthy children. Most of these are neurological complications and secondary bacterial infections of skin and soft tissue. Last year, a European consensus was published that recommended that all healthy children be vaccinated against chickenpox. In The Netherlands, routine varicella zoster virus (VZV) vaccination has not (yet) been implemented. We propose a new discussion on the possible inclusion of VZV vaccination in the national vaccination programme.

Clinical features of chromosome 16q22.1 linked autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia in Japanese.

Chromosome 16q22.1-linked autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (16q-ADCA) is strongly associated with a substitution in the puratrophin-1 gene. This locus overlaps with spinocerebellar ataxia type 4 (SCA4) which shows ataxia with prominent sensory axonal neuropathy. We found that 16q-ADCA is a common ADCA subtype in the Tohoku District of Japan. The clinical feature of Japanese 16q-ADCA is characterized as late-onset pure cerebellar ataxia.
