Abstract
Varicella may have a serious and sometimes fatal course, especially in immunocompromised patients. Some patient groups may need prophylaxis after exposure to the varicella-zoster-virus. In this article we review the evidence for usefulness of prophylactic measures after such exposure.

Stress has been proposed as a cause of preterm birth (PTB) and small-for-gestational age (SGA), but stress does not have the same effects on all women. It may be that a woman's reaction to stress relates to her pregnancy health, and previous studies indicate that higher reactivity is associated with...
