Abstract

During pregnancy incidence of varicella infection is low. However, both the pregnant woman and the foetus are at a high risk of substantial death and morbidity. The third trimester is when a pregnant woman is most at risk for life-threatening complications, and pneumonia is the main reason for maternal death. We present a case report of 24 years primigravida with 39.5 weeks gestational age with acute varicella infection posted elective cesarean section, and discuss the anesthetic management, and various concerns regarding the choice of anesthesia.
