Prognosis Manifestations are generally most severe in adults. Complications are uncommon, but pregnant women or people without immunity against VZV, are at highest risk. Complications may include pneumonia, hepatitis, encephalitis and, rarely, myocarditis, glomerulonephritis and hemorrhage. The most common later complication is zoster. Infection during pregnancy can damage the fetus and cause zoster later in childhood. Infection in the first 28 weeks of pregnancy, can lead to the fetal varicella syndrome of: • neurological damage (to brain, eye, spinal cord) • malformations (toes, fingers, anus and bladder) Infection late in gestation or immediately postpartum (following birth) may cause neonatal chickenpox, which carries a high risk of pneumonia and other serious complications.
Management Treatment aims to limit severity and duration of pain, shorten duration of the episode, and reduce complications. Systemic aciclovir (high dose) helps resolve zoster and reduce post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), especially in immunocompromised patients. Early treatment may reduce PHN. Valaciclovir or famciclovir may be needed for aciclovirresistant VZV. Analgesics treat mouth ulcers and extraoral painful lesions symptomatically. An urgent ophthalmological opinion must be obtained in ophthalmic zoster to obviate corneal damage.
