Current issues in the prevention of chickenpox and herpes zoster in pregnant women

Abstract
Chickenpox during pregnancy can lead to life-threatening complications for the mother and various forms of intrauterine infection. The rising incidence of varicella in the Russian Federation, low rates of immunization, lack of pre-pregnancy screening for antibodies to human herpesvirus type 3, and the availability of vaccination only at the pregravid stage contribute to the epidemiological involvement of pregnant women. Low public awareness about the possibility of varicella immunoprophylaxis, along with insufficient caution among healthcare professionals regarding the potential risks of chickenpox during pregnancy, also exacerbate this issue. The solution to this problem is based on an active approach to chickenpox prevention to create a safe environment for pregnant women and to develop unified standards for post-exposure prophylaxis of chickenpox in pregnancy.
