[Recurrent ARDS in varicella pneumonia complicated by disseminated candidiasis in a pregnant woman].
Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) seems to be the common way from different etiologies. We describe the clinical evolution of an ARDS in a pregnant woman, initially due to Varicella Pneumonia which was complicated with Disseminated Candidiasis and recurrent ARDS. We review the nosocomial infection with Candida in ICU patients: the growing incidence, the diagnostic problems and the new standards for treatment.
