Abstract: Varicella zoster infection is a self-limiting disease with good outcome. We report an unusual case of varicella zoster infection in kidney transplant patient treated with immunosuppressant. A 44-year-old male patient was admitted to emergency room with complaints of fever, nausea and vomiting. Later on, he presented some blisters, diagnosed as chickenpox and treated with acyclovir. His condition was worsening at the 5th day of treatment and admitted to intensive-care unit. He was passed away at the 8th day of treatment. This case illustrates that immunodeficiency kidney transplant patient had a risk of severe varicella infection.
