Abstract
We believe smoking habit could be a risk factor related to an increase of varicella pneumonia. A chest X-ray should be made in every patient, despite the symptoms. Adults with pneumonia have a better prognosis if acyclovir is started early in time. Concomitant treatment with corticosteroids should be used in those cases with respiratory insufficiency.
