Prevention of varicella after exposure

Prevention of varicella after exposure refers to post-exposure prophylaxis intended to avert or attenuate primary infection by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) following close contact with an infected individual This intervention targets susceptible individuals lacking evidence of immunity, with particular focus on populations vulnerable to severe disease and complications, such as pregnant women, immunocompromised patients, and neonates Prophylaxis administered during the initial incubation pha...
