Chickenpox in children treated with long-term immunosuppressants
The clinical course of chicken pox was studied in 7 patients who were treated for a long time with immunosuppressants for a number of major serious diseases (acute leukemia, Werlhof's disease, chronic nephritis). In 5 children, chickenpox had bullous and generalized forms. In one case there was a lethal outcome. All patients with leukemia experienced an exacerbation of the underlying disease on the 15-16th day of the course of chicken pox. It is recommended that immunosuppressants received by the child for the underlying disease should not be canceled with chickenpox; moreover, do not reduce their doses.
