    Journal: Acta Paediatr; 2007 Jul; 96(7):1099-100. PubMed ID: 17577346.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Four infants are reported with varicella-Zoster virus (VZV) infection, whose mothers had varicella during the second-third trimester of pregnancy. Two newborns had neonatal varicella. One of them, whose mother contracted varicella 5 days before delivery, had a severe and complicated form of the disease. The infants who had herpes zoster did not have specific VZV-IgG antibodies at the onset of the disease. CONCLUSION: These cases showed that varicella during the second-third trimester of pregnancy may have serious consequence for infants.
