Abstract
Herpes zoster was rarely noted to occur during pregnancy. The case of a woman at 37 wk gestation who developed herpes zoster and 3 wk later delivered a normal infant was reported. A 6 mo. follow-up revealed no sequelae in the child. Pertinent clinical aspects of herpes zoster and a review of the literature indicating a favorable prognosis for infants exposed in utero are presented.
