Popis: Chickenpox is an viral infection that is transmitted from person to person through direct contact with skin lesions or by inhaling respiratory secretions of infected individuals. Although it is usually seen in childhood, it can also occur rarely in adults. In adult population, serological tests are helpful in addition to clinical diagnosis. Viral infections with skin rashes can lead to more complications during pregnancy for both the baby and the mother. Therefore, vaccination against preventable diseases should be administered before pregnancy. In this article, a 29-week pregnant who was clinically compatible with chickenpox but developed seroconversion in the first month serologically was presented.
