DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Theoretically possible complication in pregnant women suffering from zoster in the sense of a congenital varicella syndrome, but this is very rare, because in immunocompetent patients with zoster, due to partial immunity, there is normally no generalisation of the varicella zoster virus and thus diaplacental transmission is not possible.

TherapyThis section has been translated automatically.

Corresponding to the congenital varicella syndrome.
