Maternal varicella-zoster virus infection during pregnancy can lead to infantile zoster. This case highlights the importance of understanding congenital varicella syndrome and its management.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Immunology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection during pregnancy poses risks to the fetus.
  • The timing of maternal infection influences the severity of congenital VZV disease.
  • Infantile zoster is a rare but significant manifestation of in utero VZV exposure.

Observation:

  • A 5-month-old boy presented with infantile zoster.
  • The infant's mother experienced varicella infection during pregnancy.
  • This case illustrates a potential outcome of in utero VZV transmission.

Findings:

  • Congenital varicella syndrome encompasses a spectrum of disorders.
  • Key concerns include developmental abnormalities, neurological complications, and cutaneous scarring.

  • Management strategies vary based on the clinical presentation and gestational age at exposure.

    • Implications:

    • Early recognition and diagnosis of infantile zoster are crucial for prompt management.
    • Understanding the risks associated with maternal VZV infection informs prenatal counseling.
    • Further research into the long-term outcomes of congenital VZV infection is warranted.
