Neonatal Varicella, Treated With Oral Acyclovir: A Rare and Challenging Case Report in a Limited‐Resource Country Like Cambodia
Varicella-zoster virus can be transmitted transplacentally to a fetus from symptomatic mothers developing skin lesions between 5 days before and 2 days after delivery. The diagnosis is clinical. Its management is challenging in limited-resource countries, namely Cambodia, due to the lack of varicella zoster immune globulin and intravenous acyclovir.
