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.

AbstractThe relationship between varicella-zoster virus and idiopathic associated laryngeal paralysis was examined in five patients, using complement fixation or enzyme immunoassay testing. In all cases, significant changes in serum levels of varicella-zoster virus antibody were observed. Videofluoroscopy was useful in assessing the severity of the dysphagia and in making an accurate diagnosis; both laryngeal elevation and weakness of pharyngeal wall contraction were also observed. In two cases in which antiviral therapy was delayed, the outcome was poor, with increased levels of varicella-zoster virus immunoglobulin M found on enzyme immunoassay. The outcome of the condition may thus depend both on the speed of antiviral therapy commencement following onset of symptoms, and on the levels of varicella-zoster virus immunoglobulin M antibody (measured by enzyme immunoassay). Our study suggests that varicella-zoster virus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with idiopathic associated laryngeal paralysis, and rapid antiviral therapy should be initiated when necessary.
