• Pregnant women are at significant risk of varicella pneumonitis and severe disease.
• If there is any concern about severity of the disease, referral to hospital should be made for consideration of parenteral therapy.
• Women who are close to term should be admitted to an isolation facility with access to specialist obstetric and paediatric services because of the significant risk of premature labour and of neonatal infection.
• Intravenous aciclovir should be administered, and if possible, delivery of the infant delayed until at least 5 days after the onset of infection.
• Switch to oral therapy as soon as possible.
