We report a case of adult primary varicella pneumonia. A 34-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with fever, dry cough and eruptions. He had no history of chicken pox and his sons had contracted varicella 2 weeks before the onset of his symptoms. Chest X-ray showed diffuse nodular shadows in both lungs. The diagnosis of primary varicella pneumonia was made based on family history, typical eruptions and high titer of antibody against Varicella zoster virus. An electron micrograph indicated this case to be primary varicella pneumonia with fibrosis and edema of interstitial spaces and the presence of virus-like particles in cells. The patient was treated with antibiotics, an antiviral agent and immunoglobulin. The clinical symptoms and diffuse nodular shadows resolved with this treatment.
