  • Title: [Connatal varicella embryo-fetopathy].
    Author: König R, Gutjahr P, Kruel R, Enders G, Spranger J.
    Journal: Helv Paediatr Acta; 1985 Dec; 40(5):391-8. PubMed ID: 4086312.
    Abstract:
    Connatal varicella embryo-fetopathy is rare. A newborn is described with severe cutaneous lesions, contractures, and hypoplasia of limbs following maternal varicella at the 13th week of pregnancy. Persisting low CF- and ELISA IgG-antibodies up to the age of 18 months give evidence for a prenatal varicella infection. Varicella contact during pregnancy requires rapid serodiagnosis of the immune status; if the women are seronegative, the application of zoster-hyperimmunoglobulin is recommended.
