title: [Chickenpox and pregnancy].
abstract: The authors report a case of chickenpox exposure during the first three months of pregnancy. Ultrasonographic monitoring of the fetus revealed signs of fetal infection starting from 32 weeks of amenorrhea (hepatomegaly, ascites, pleural effusion) but clinical examination of the child at birth showed nothing abnormal. The diagnosis was confirmed by the development of herpes zoster in the child after birth. The difficulty of determining a fetal prognosis during pregnancy is emphasised.
