Varicella pneumonia: another 'steroid responsive' pneumonia?

R Ahmed1, Q A A Ahmed, N A Adhami, Z A Memish.   

Abstract

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) pneumonitis remains an often-fatal complication of VZV infection. Antiviral agents and supportive care are widely accepted therapies. Cautious use of corticosteroids in life-threatening VZV pneumonitis may be justified. Appropriate patient selection factors are as yet unidentified and the decision to commence corticosteroid therapy in this setting is clinical.
