[Acute respiratory distress syndrome in chickenpox in 3 healthy adults].
Three adults previously in good health developed pulmonary oedema during chickenpox. Severe hypoxemia required mechanical ventilation. All patients recovered without extensive pulmonary sequela on the first month pulmonary functional test. The severity of adult chickenpox requires hospitalization for treatment with Acyclovir.
