Varicella‐zoster pneumonia with endobronchial lesions

Abstract

Key message Varicella‐zoster pneumonia with endobronchial lesions is rare. When immunosuppressed patients get skin lesions with systemic symptoms, the possibility of varicella‐zoster virus infection of the respiratory tract should be kept in mind. In our case, the pulmonary lesions persisted for 15 months.
