The most common bacterial etiologic agent following varicella is group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus. The other organisms are much less common. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common bone infection organism. Staphylococcus epidermidis is increasingly a bone infection organism. Group B streptococcus occurs more commonly in newborns. Kingella kingae is a common joint pathogen but is not as common following varicella.

Musculoskeletal complications of varicella.
