case_images: A male preterm infant with a gestational age of 36 5/7 weeks and birth weight of 2,950 g was delivered from a mother who presented systemic vesicular rash 8 days before delivery and scab formation during delivery (Figure 1).
case_images: The preterm patient was at risk for neonatal varicella. (A) He had no rash at birth. (B) The patient was receiving closed-chest drainage, as well as invasive mechanical ventilatory support with high-frequency oscillatory ventilation.

case_images: Closed-chest drainage and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation immediately replaced HFNO as respiratory support (Figure 2B). A re-examination of the bedside chest radiograph revealed that bilateral pulmonary exudative lesions and pneumothorax were absorbed on day 10 after admission (Figure 2D).
case_images: The chest x-ray presentation of the patient. (A) Bilateral pulmonary exudative lesions were found on admission, revealing pneumonia. (B) Lucency shadows were observed at two sides of para-mediastinum as marked with white arrows on day 2 after admission, suggesting pneumothorax. (C) Pneumothorax deteriorated, and the right lung was remarkably compressed as marked with white arrows on day 3 after admission; (D) bilateral pulmonary exudative lesions and pneumothorax were absorbed on day 10 after admission.

case_images: A re-examination of the bedside chest radiograph revealed the progress of pneumonia and the presence of pneumothorax (Figure 3B). A re-examination of the bedside chest radiograph indicated progressive pneumothorax (Figure 3C).
