We report a case of a previously healthy 32-year-old man with varicella pneumonia that was complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome. He was treated successfully with acyclovir and intravenous immunoglobulin in to mechanical ventilation. We conclude that intravenous immunoglobulin, in combination with acyclovir, is a safe and probably effective therapy for adult varicella pneumonia that is complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessResearch & experimental medicinePharmacology & pharmacyPneumoniaAcute respiratory failureAcyclovirIntravenous immunoglobulinVaricellaArticle0001697129000132-s2.0-003493837025225529311471863Medicine, research & experimentalPharmacology & pharmacyChickenpox; Herpes Zoster; Aciclovir
