Varicella Infection in Pregnancy: Two Cases With Herpes Zoster and Literature Review

Abstract

We present two cases that developed reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV) during pregnancy. Both patients received topical treatment. Systemic antiviral therapy was prescribed just for one case taking into consideration the site and the time between the onset of the eruption and diagnosis. In both cases, the pregnancies continued uneventfully.
