title: Characteristics of radiological changes in lungs during varicella zoster viral infection.
abstract: The objective of this research was to analyse the varicella patients' data in order to determine the following: general frequency of pneumopathies and types of lung changes according to X-ray presentation and the changes on the computed tomography. It examined 101 patients with the clinical presentation of varicella and some of the X-ray entities of varicella pneumopathies. Radiological techniques included chest X-ray and CT scans. Familiarity with clinical, laboratory and radiological characteristics of the disease may be of utmost importance for early recognition.
