El objetivo de esta comunicación es actualizar a los perinatólogos, neonatólogos y epidemiológicos en la atención al neonato expuesto o infectado por el virus de la varicela zoster en el contexto nacional. La infección por el virus en el periodo neonatal puede ser grave y fatal en prematuros extremos, en pretérminos hijos de madres sin exposición previa al virus y en recién nacidos cuyas madres hayan iniciado el exantema cinco días antes del parto o hasta dos días posteriores a este. La varicela es prevenible por vacuna y en los países desarrollados, existe una gammaglobulina específica contra el virus de la varicela zoster para ser aplicada en expuestos a este virus con alto riesgo de presentar formas graves de la enfermedad. En el contexto nacional, la infección por el virus de la varicela, es frecuente y la inmunización activa y pasiva no está disponible, por lo que es necesario estar actualizado en la atención de los grupos vulnerables de padecer esta infección.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT The pregnant woman with varicella in the first quarter of pregnancy can transmit the infection to the fetus, in which case there is a risk of miscarriage or fetal death or permanent sequelae in the product of the gestation. The aim of this communication is to upgrade perinatologists, neonatologists and epidemiologists in the management of the neonate exposed or infected by the varicella-zoster virus in the national context. The infection by the virus in the neonatal period can be serious and fatal in extremely premature neonates, in preterm children of mothers without previous exposure to the virus and in newborns whose mothers have showned exanthem five days before delivery or up to two days after this. Varicella is preventable by vaccination and in developed countries there is a specific gammaglobulin against the varicella-zoster virus to be applied in patients exposed to this virus with high risk of presenting severe forms of the disease. In the national context, the infection by the varicella virus is frequent and active and passive immunization is not available, so it is necessary to be updated in the handling of vulnerable groups to this infection.]]></p></abstract>
