Abstract
Chickenpox is a common disease leading to a large number of clinical manifestations, ranging from mild spontaneously resolving forms to severe complicated cases requiring hospitalization and parenteral therapy. Despite the fact that this infection is benign in the majority of cases, it can lead to disseminated life-threatening processes in pregnant women and unimmunized newborns infected during the perinatal period, as well as it can cause intrauterine death and fetal abnormalities.
Currently, there are no unified therapeutic approaches in the management of pregnant women with chickenpox. The nature and severity of infection in children depends on the moment of infection (before or after birth, intrapartum), the immune status of the mother against the human herpesvirus type 3 (HHV-3), the gestational age of the fetus and the presence of concomitant conditions.
