Two-year-old suffers stroke after chickenpox

13/10/2008

A boy of two is recovering from a stroke which was caused by chickenpox.

Archie Preston was taken to hospital when his parents noticed he was having trouble walking and talking.

Doctors said he had suffered a stroke and blamed a recent bout of the virus which caused his arteries to shrink.

Mum Helen, 33, of Havant, Hants, said: “We thought it was just a trapped nerve. A stroke is something your grandparents have.”

Archie now faces a year of physiotherapy to help him walk and talk normally.

Strokes occur when blood supply to the brain is interrupted. About 300 children a year are affected.

One in 25,000 happens as a result of chickenpox.
