Herpes zoster pericarditis.
A healthy 22-year-old man developed acute varicella pericarditis, characterised by an enanthem with diagnostic rising titres of varicella zoster antibodies but without the typical exanthem. This, the third reported case of varicella pericarditis, is the first to be documented without a typical varicella eruption.
