Varicella pneumonia in a healthy 31-year-old female with no prior varicella immunity and no skin rush: A case report
Varicella pneumonia represents a relatively uncommon yet severe complication arising from initial varicella infection. Between 5% and 15% of instances of adult varicella infection may result in various pulmonary conditions. Predominantly afflicting adults, its severity is compounded by factors like smoking, compromised immune systems, pregnancy, age, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and male gender. We represent the case of an adult female lacking prior immunity to varicella, who experienced heightened oxygen needs with severe hemoptysis without skin symptoms. Swift improvement was observed just a 2 following valacyclovir administration. Varicella pneumonia stands out as a significant complication stemming from primary varicella infection in adults, with early administration of acyclovir linked to both symptomatic relief and reduced mortality rates.
