pedi 9 - sami2004 - ArchivalUser - 08-25-2010 Several parents in your neighborhood decide to have a “chickenpox” party. They want to synchronize their kids’ chickenpox outbreaks with their busy schedules. One of the mothers, who has never had chickenpox, finds out that she is pregnant the day after being exposed to chickenpox. She is not yet symptomatic (from the pregnancy or the chickenpox). The best advice for this potential parent about her pregnancy is: A) Consider termination since it is likely that the child will have congenital varicella. B) Get treated within 48 hours of exposure with varicella immune globulin. C) Get treated within 48 hours of exposure with varicella immune globulin plus varicella vaccine. D) Get treated within 48 hours of exposure with IVIG plus varicella vaccine. Manifestations of intrauterine infection with varicella zoster include all of the following defects EXCEPT: A) Microphthalmia. B) Congenital cataracts. C) Cardiac abnormalities. D) CNS abnormalities. These children are considered infectious until: A) 5 days after the first lesion appears. B) 10–14 days after the first lesion appears. C) New lesions are no longer forming.
