Abstract
Stroke in children and adolescents can be a complication of a central nervous sytem infection, such as bacterial meningitis, varicella zoster virus infection, human immunodeficiency virus infection, or tuberculous meningoencephalitis, or might complicate pharyngitis, pneumonia, a systemic viral illness, or sepsis. Rarely, stroke might be a complication of the varicella zoster vaccine. The clinical presentation of stroke associated with infection is similar to stroke attributable to other causes, but the diagnostic approach is different. A review of the pathophysiology, diagnostic studies, and treatment of infectious causes of stroke in children and adolescents is presented.
