Bullous chickenpox.
We report a 70-year-old man with the bullous variant of chickenpox. Physicians should be aware of this uncommon manifestation of this common disease, which may clinically suggest other bullous disorders such as pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid. A 24-year-old hospital worker developed typical chickenpox 2 weeks after the first patient's onset of bullous chickenpox.
