A case of pneumonia complicating the course of chickenpox in a previously healthy man is presented. Serious impairment of gas exchange developed, requiring multidisciplinary intensive care management, mechanical ventilation and intravenous acyclovir therapy. Additional complications of hepatitis and pancreatitis occurred. Varicella pneumonia is a potentially life-threatening complication that should be suspected in any adult with chickenpox and respiratory symptoms.
