VARICELLA ZOSTER REACTIVATION CAUSING ASEPTIC MENINGITIS IN HEALTHY ADOLESCENTS: A CASE SERIES AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE.

We describe 3 cases of adolescent varicella-zoster virus reactivation, complicated by aseptic meningitis, presenting to our institution in a 3-year period. These cases highlight varicella-zoster virus reactivation as an important cause of aseptic meningitis in the differential diagnosis of healthy adolescents, even in the absence of a characteristic exanthem. Evidence-based management recommendations are needed.
