Chickenpox, also known as varicella, is a highly contagious viral illness characterized by a characteristic rash of itchy, fluid-filled blisters. The virus, varicella-zoster virus (VZV), spreads through the air or by direct contact with infected skin. While typically a mild illness in children, chickenpox can be more severe in adults and individuals with weakened immune systems. Key aspects of chickenpox: Cause: Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a member of the herpesvirus family. Transmission: Primarily through the air (coughing, sneezing) or direct contact with blisters. Symptoms: Fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, and headache. Itchy rash that starts as small, red spots, develops into blisters, and eventually crusts over. Stages of rash: Red, bumpy rash. Fluid-filled blisters. Blisters drying and becoming scabs. Contagious period: People are contagious from 1-2 days before the rash appears until all blisters have crusted over. Complications: While generally mild in children, chickenpox can lead to serious complications in adults and immunocompromised individuals, including pneumonia, bacterial infections, and even death.
