A 4-year-old boy presented to the hospital in the sixth day of ongoing varicella infection with high fever, respiratory distress, and hypoxemia. Physical examination showed tachypnea, a generalized vesicular exanthema, perioral impetigo, bilateral rales, and diminished breath sounds at pulmonary auscultation. Chest radiograph revealed bilateral, multifocal, heterogeneous alveolar opacities with nodular pattern, reaching the periphery.
