In this article, it is aimed to present the follow-up and treatment of the patient who started to show symptoms of VZV infection in the 19th week of pregnancy. Case: Our case was a 19-week pregnant woman. G2, P1 was 31 years old. The patient, who had vesicular and itchy lesions, was diagnosed with varicella due to characteristic lesions as a result of dermatology consultation. Antiviral therapy was started for varicella treatment. Microcephaly, extremity hypoplasia, and intrauterine growth retardation were not observed in obstetric ultrasonography. Birth occurred in the 37th week of follow-up. The newborn without any abnormality was discharged, and no abnormal findings were found in the post-discharge controls. Conclusion: Antenatal chickenpox infection is associated with serious complications for the mother and fetus. Oral acyclovir alone or in combination with VZIG may be beneficial as antiviral therapy for pregnant women with chickenpox infection.
