AbstractPregnant patients with varicella infections have an increased risk of life threatening pulmonary complications. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive early therapy with acyclovir are important aspects of treating varicella pneumonia. The stress of severe hypoxia usually necessitates delivery by cesarean section. Preoperative evaluation of pulmonary function and choice of anesthetic are critical to intraoperative management. This paper presents the successful treatment of varicella pneumonia in the third trimester of pregnancy with survival of both mother and infant.
