| Abstract: | A 30-year-old pregnant woman had skin lesions at 38 weeks of gestation. She was diagnosed as primary varicella zoster infection. Her clinical symptoms were high fever and generalized vesicles eruption. No serious maternal complication was found. The patient delivered a male baby 4 days after she developed skin lesions. The neonatal blood IgM against varicella zoster was negative. The baby was given Varicella zoster immunoglobulin within 24 hours and isolated in a neonatal care unit. The baby developed skin lesions on day 11th post delivery. Intravenous acyclovir was administered for 7 days. Finally, the baby was found to be free of severe neonatal varicella infection. |
