امرأة حامل في الأسبوع ٢٤ تعمل في حضانة أطفال، وظهرت حالة جديري في الحضانة. ليست متأكدة إذا أصيبت سابقاً. ما الإجراء الصحيح؟

A woman at 24 weeks works in a nursery where a chickenpox case has occurred; she is unsure of past infection. What is the correct action?

1. Terminate the pregnancy immediately because of the exposure
2. Nothing, because chickenpox does not affect pregnant women
3. Check her varicella immunity; she may need immunoglobulin if non-immune
4. Give the live varicella vaccine now in pregnancy

Answer: C) Check her varicella immunity; she may need immunoglobulin if non-immune. Varicella in pregnancy can be severe for mother and fetus. Immunity is checked; non-immune women may need immunoglobulin within 10 days. Live vaccine is contraindicated.
