Abstract:
Varicella pneumonia can endanger the life of pregnant women. We have a case of varicella pneumonia complicating pregnancy in the third trimester. The patient required intubation, early treatment with acyclovir (700 mg/IV every eight hours), as well as the extraction of the fetus by cesarean section before the time gestation was completed. Early treatment with acyclovir has improved hope for these patients.
