| Core Tip |
This case report highlights the critical management of neonatal varicella in a resource-limited setting where standard interventions like varicella-zoster immunoglobulin and polymerase chain reaction testing are unavailable. It demonstrates that a timely clinical diagnosis based on characteristic rash and maternal history, coupled with prompt intravenous acyclovir therapy and meticulous supportive care, can lead to a favourable outcome. The case underscores the importance of clinical acumen and accessible antiviral treatment as effective alternatives for managing this life-threatening condition when advanced resources are constrained. |
