How to manage chickenpox during pregnancy: case reports.

Chickenpox is a human infection that occurs mainly during childhood. Infection during pregnancy is therefore rare but may cause a congenital infection with malformation in less than 1% of cases. A specific management should be proposed at diagnosis in order to reduce materno-fetal transmission and morbimortality. Three cases were herein presented focusing on the main at-risk situations for pregnant women, whom immunological status against varicella was unknown. The first case focused on a varicella eruption during early pregnancy that leads to a lethal outcome. The second one described the man…

An outbreak of chickenpox in an asylum seeker centre in Italy: outbreak investigation and validity of reported chickenpox history, December 2015-May 2016.

An outbreak of chickenpox occurred between December 2015 and May 2016 among asylum seekers in a reception centre in Latium, Italy. We describe the epidemiological and laboratory investigations, control measures and validity of reported history of chickenpox infection. Serological screening of all residents and incoming asylum seekers was performed, followed by vaccine offer to all susceptible individuals without contraindication. Forty-six cases were found and 41 were associated with the outbreak. No complications, hospitalisations or deaths occurred. Serological testing was performed in 1,278…

Bilateral Facial Nerve Palsy: A Rare Complication of Chickenpox.

We report a rare case of bilateral lower motor neuron facial nerve palsy in an immunocompetent woman in her 50s following varicella infection. She presented with complaints of difficulty in closing both eyes, difficulty chewing food, deviation of the oral commissure, more pronounced on the right side, and loss of taste sensation one month after chickenpox infection. Examination revealed bilateral lower motor neuron facial weakness along with a few crusted vesicles over the face and extremities, suggesting varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection. The diagnosis of varicella was made clinically ba…

Mpox and Chickenpox Coinfection: Case Series From Southern Nigeria.

BACKGROUND: We describe clinicoepidemiologic characteristics of mpox-chickenpox coinfection in Nigeria. METHODS: A retrospective cohort analysis was performed of confirmed mpox cases in Nigeria from January 2022 to March 2023. Mpox and chickenpox were confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: Of 94 (60.0%) suspected cases, 56 had confirmed mpox, of whom 16 (28.6%) had chickenpox coinfection. The median age of confirmed mpox cases was 29 years (interquartile range, 20-37 years), 24 were men (60.7%), 6 (10.7%) were bisexual, and 5 (8.9%) died. Mpox-chickenpox-coinfect…

Доклад: Ветрянка, приобретенная в больнице в медицинских учреждениях.

Цыпленок-покс (варицелла) является редким явлением в медицинских учреждениях США, но может передаваться медицинским работникам от пациентов с герпесом-зостером, которые, в свою очередь, потенциально могут передавать его дополнительно не иммунизированным, иммунизированным, подверженным риску и уязвимым пациентам. Это необычно в связи с включением вакцины варицелла в рекомендуемый график иммунизации детей и скринингом на иммунитет варицелла в ВЖ во время работы по найму. Мы представляем сообщение о том, что ветрянка, приобретенная в больнице пациентом, развила инфекцию во время длительного пребы

Chickenpox (varicella) is a rare occurrence in healthcare settings in the USA, but can be transmitted to healthcare workers (HCWs) from patients with herpes zoster who, in turn, can potentially transmit it further to unimmunized, immunosuppressed, at-risk, vulnerable patients. It is uncommon due to the inclusion of varicella vaccination in the recommended im…

Clinical epidemiology of chickenpox in Iraq from 2007-2011.

UNLABELLED: Varicella zoster (chickenpox) infection is an acute common disease caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV). Children are most susceptible to infection. In non-vaccinated populations, primary infection tends to occur at a younger age. In 1998, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that routine childhood varicella vaccination be considered in countries where the disease is a relatively important public health and socioeconomic problem, and where high (85 to 90%) and sustained vaccine coverage can be achieved. AIM: 1- To determine the trend (occurrence, age and gender di…

UK has implemented routine vaccination for children against chickenpox.

A universal chickenpox vaccination has been included in the routine childhood immunisation programme since January 2026 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; given in a two-dose schedule at 12 and 18 months as part of the combined measles/mumps/rubella/varicella (MMRV) vaccine. New evidence on the burden of disease in the UK and on whether circulating varicella zoster virus reduces shingles cases in older adults has led to this new recommendation. The MMRV is an established vaccine with good evidence to its efficacy and safety, including demonstration of significant reductions in chickenpox-…

Acute peripheral facial palsy after chickenpox: a rare association.

Chickenpox, resulting from primary infection by the varicella-zoster virus, is an exanthematous disease very common during childhood and with good prognosis. However, serious complications, namely, neurological syndromes, may develop during its course, especially in risk groups, including adolescents. Peripheral facial palsy is a rare neurologic complication that has been previously described. Conclusion. We report the case of a teenager with peripheral facial palsy as a complication of chickenpox, aiming to increase the awareness of this rare association.

[Multiple strokes after chickenpox primo-infection in an adult].

INTRODUCTION: Chickenpox is considered as a high risk factor for developing stroke in childhood, but descriptions in adult are exceptional (only three cases reported, to our knowledge). CASE REPORT: A 37-year-old man presented with a chickenpox eruption, followed by a right parietal and a left occipital infarcts, associated with multiple lacunae. There was no coagulation disorder, no hypertension or cardiovascular disorder. Cerebral angiography showed an irregular narrowing of the right internal parietal artery and vascular defects in right parietal and left occipital areas. The diagnosis of …

Case report: the pulmonary lesions of chickenpox pneumonia--revisited.

Infection with the varicella zoster virus can include pulmonary complications. These may cause such minor symptomatology as to go unrecognized and unimaged. We describe a case of active chickenpox pneumonia that mimicked pulmonary metastases and was detected incidentally by means of computed tomography in a man with a past history of testicular teratoma.

Васкулит центральной нервной системы после ветряной оспы - потому что или совпадение?

Мальчик в возрасте 7,5 лет, который, как известно, страдает припадком, попал с инфарктом в левую среднюю область церебральной артерии, через 10 недель после сильной ветряной оспы. Иммунофлуорсинг антителной титры к вирусу варицелла зостера в цереброспайнальной жидкости составил 1:32. Церебральная ангиография показала наличие фокусного васкулита. Спустя семь месяцев он вновь представил информацию о резком увеличении объема изъятий. Магнитный резонансный снимок мозга показал старое заднее расширение инфаркта, но повторяющаяся ангиография показала улучшение васкулитического процесса. Цереброспинн

Immunofluorescent antibody titre to the varicella zoster virus in the cerebrospinal fluid was 1:32. Cerebral angiography showed evidence of focal vasculitis. He presented again seven months later with…

Acute retinal necrosis syndrome following chickenpox in pregnant woman.

A pregnant woman presented with acute retinal necrosis syndrome (ARNS) involving both eyes. She had had varicella eruption one month before the onset of the disease. Antibody titer to the varicella-zoster virus was elevated in the aqueous humor of both eyes. To our knowledge, this is the first report which showed apparent association of varicella eruption with ARNS caused by varicella-zoster virus.

Evaluation of a combined measles-mumps-rubella-chickenpox vaccine.

There was neither a difference in the (low) percentage of only harmless side-reactions nor in the rate of sero-conversions (between 95-100%), when groups of 15 to 24 months old children were vaccinated either with the single components or with a combined MMR + Chickenpox-vaccine of a high potency.

Chickenpox with delayed contralateral hemiparesis caused by cerebral angiitis.

Chickenpox and herpes zoster ophthalmicus are caused by the same virus. Herpes zoster ophthalmicus can be followed by contralateral hemiparesis, which is thought to be caused by spread of varicella-zoster virus to blood vessels contiguous to the trigeminal nerve and its branches. We report what we believe to be the first case of a patient with chickenpox followed by hemiparesis in whom there was angiographic evidence of an associated vasculitis similar to that found with herpes zoster ophthalmicus.
