Abstract
Varicella zoster virus of the human herpes virus family cause childhood chickenpox. It remains dormant in sensory ganglia and re-activates years later in immunocompromised and elderly persons to produce shingles (herpes zoster) in about 10-20% cases. The association of Varicella zoster virus infection and bladder dysfunction is rare and mostly seen in adults. We present a case of a child with primary varicella zoster infection who presented with acute urinary retention. Patient was catheterised and treated with oral acyclovir. Patient was given a catheter free trial after a week and patient could void urine without any difficulty.
