Abstract

A 24-day-old female neonate was referred to our hospital with the complaints of rash, fever and restlessness. On physical examination; there was a polymorphic rash of the papular and vesicular type on the body. The patient was diagnosed as neonatal varicella by clinical and serological examination. Varicellazoster virus can infect the neonate by transplacental viremia, ascending infection during birth or respiratory droplet/direct contact with infectious lesions after birth. If the infection occurs in the first and second trimesters of gestation, the congenital varicella syndrome may occur. Maternal chickenpox near term or soon after delivery may cause severe or fatal illness in the neonate. Neonatal varicella can be transmitted to the newborn from siblings, as well as the mother. Herein, the clinical features, diagnostic approaches, treatment and prevention measures of varicella infections in the neonatal period have been emphasisied with this case report.

Özet

Yirmi dört günlük kız bebek, döküntü, ateş ve huzursuzluk şikâyeti ile hastanemize sevk edildi. Fizik muayenesinde; papuler ve veziküler tarzda döküntüleri mevcut idi. Hasta, klinik ve serolojik olarak suçiçeği tanısı aldı. Varicella-zoster virüsu yenidoğanı; plasental yol ile, doğum sırasında veya damlacık yolu/direk temas ile enfekte edebilir. Eğer gebeliğin ilk ve ikinci üç ayında anne suçiçeği geçirirse, doğumsal suçiçeği sendromu meydana gelebilir. Anne doğumdan hemen önce veya doğumdan hemen sonra suçiçeği geçirirse, yenidoğanda ciddi veya ölümcül hastalık gelişebilir. Neonatal suçiçeği sadece anneden değil, kardeşlerden de bulaşabilir. Bu vaka sunumu ile yenidoğan döneminde görülen suçiçeği vakalarının klinik özellikleri, tanısal yaklaşımları, tedavisi ve önlem yöntemleri vurgulanmak istenmiştir.
