Chickenpox
Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It is less common since a vaccine was developed to protect against the condition, which is more severe in adults than children.
Symptoms of chickenpox are an itchy skin rash, which develops into small blisters which then scab over. It is usually accompanied by a fever and may also cause tiredness and headaches. Occasionally, it may lead to other complications, such as pneumonia, inflammation of the brain and bacterial skin infections. The condition typically lasts for up to a week. It spreads through direct contact with an infected person and through the air.
Vaccines are available to protect against chickenpox, such as Proquad PF and Varivax. Systemic antivirals such as Zovirax (acyclovir) may be prescribed to treat chickenpox when it does arise.
