[Severe bronchoalveolitis in chickenpox].
Varicella pneumonia, is commonly an easy diagnostic because of specific eruption. We report a case in an 8 years old child with moderately with-spread macular and purpuric rash. Hematologic data showed anemia and thrombocytopenia from central origin. Surgical biopsy of lung was performed with bacteriologic, parasitologic and virologic studies. The diagnostic was brought by ascension of serum complement fixation titers to varicella virus from 1/8 to 1/1024. This case is compared to those recorded in the literature.
