title: [Prophylaxis in severe congenital neonatal varicella. Apropos of two cases].
abstract: We present two cases of neonatal varicella in newborn twins, who had serious complications in spite of being given human anti-chickenpox immuneglobulin (zoster immuneglobulin ZIG) prophylaxis. We comment on current criteria of the prophylaxis in newborns with risk of severe neonatal varicella.
