BERNARDO, Miguel; IGREJA, Ana Isabel; CARVALHO, Joana y PEREIRA, Helena. An ill-appearing child with skin lesions and respiratory distress. Nascer e Crescer [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.1, pp.53-55. Epub 31-Mar-2023. ISSN 0872-0754. https://doi.org/10.25753/birthgrowthmj.v32.i1.23836.
Primary infection with varicella-zoster virus (VZV) commonly occurs during childhood, generally with benign clinical course. The authors describe the case of a non-immunized eight-year-old girl with primary varicella infection complicated by a rare pulmonary finding: necrotizing pneumonia. Patient management and the spectrum of pulmonary complications in this setting are discussed.
