Three patients aged 32, 30 and 36 years, had chicken pox then developed acute cerebellar ataxia (for two) and acute polyradiculoneuritis. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein content was increased and varicella virus serology was positive in both blood and CSF. All three patients improved with aciclovir.
