Congenital varicella syndrome, maternal varicella‐zoster virus pneumonia and neonatal varicella infection are associated with serious fetomaternal morbidity and, not infrequently, mortality. Vaccination against varicella‐zoster virus can prevent the disease, and outbreak control limits the exposure of pregnant women to the infectious agent. Maternal varicella‐zoster immunoglobulin administration before rash development, with or without antiviral medication, can modify the progression of the disease.
