Varicella Pneumonia

Chickenpox is caused by varicella-zoster virus and is predominantly a self-limiting disease of childhood. Chickenpox in adults is more likely to be associated with complications such as varicella pneumonia. Treatment with antivirals is helpful in adults if given early after the onset of rash in uncomplicated disease. In complicated disease such as pneumonia, intravenous treatment is essential to optimize drug levels although an evidence base for this is lacking. Exposure to varicella during pregnancy is a particular concern for non-immune women and passive immunization with varicella immune globulin is indicated.

In Pregnancy

Respiratory changes in pregnancy include an increase in tidal volume and minute ventilation, leading to a primary respiratory alkalosis. This chapter examines the various chest conditions arising in pregnancy—these include: amniotic fluid embolism—unique to pregnancy; venous air embolism—a rare condition that can occur in pregnancy; venous and pulmonary thromboembolism—pregnancy is a risk factor; pulmonary oedema—this can be caused by heart disease, as in the non-pregnant state, but it can also be associated with pre-eclampsia or HELPP syndrome and be induced by tocolysis; aspiration; varicella pneumonia—a potentially devastating complication of primary varicella-zoster virus infection; and influenza, which is associated with increased maternal morbidity.
