  • Title: Varicella pneumonia.
    Author: Schlossberg D, Littman M.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1988 Jul; 148(7):1630-2. PubMed ID: 3382308.
    Abstract:
    Six normal adults with varicella pneumonia were treated successfully with acyclovir sodium. All patients showed resolution of roentgenographic and arterial blood gas abnormalities. In addition, five of the six patients demonstrated thrombocytopenia that resolved with therapy. Intravenous acyclovir therapy should be instituted as early as possible in patients who may have varicella pneumonia.
