Keywords:
Varicella, caesarean section, herpes zoster
Abstract
Varicella zoster (VZ) is highly contagious virus and it can cause two different diseases; chicken pox as the primary infection and later reactivates shingles or herpes zoster. Approximately 5–10% of pregnant women lack antibodies to VZV and may acquire varicella during pregnancy. We present a case of 20 year old woman with herpes zoster presented for emergency caesarean section in view of foetal distress while discussing the anaesthetic issues related to varicella in pregnancy.
