Roentgenograms of chest. a: a premorbid film with clear lung fields. b: bilateral reticulonodular infiltrates at the time of the varicella illness. c: resolution of infiltrates after treatment with acyclovir. Kyphoscoliosis also is noted. There was no mediastinal lymph node enlargement, and signs of cardiac failure were not evident.

Histopathologic findings shown in wedge biopsy specimen removed from lung, a: patchy concentration of interstitial fibrosis in the center of the figure and predominantly lymphoid inflammation. Alveolar macrophages are readily seen and proliferation of type 2 pneumocytes is best recognized by the “hobnail” appearance (arrows) of the cells toward the lumen of the alveoli (Masson trichrome stain, high contrast, original ×120). b: higher power view of the biopsy specimen highlights the interstitial fibrosis. The alveolar architecture is still recognizable (reticulin stain, original ×160). c: widened interstitium showing moderated patchy lymphocytic infiltrates (hematoxylin-eosin, original ×250).
