Chickenpox

What is Chickenpox?


Chickenpox is a contagious infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It spreads through direct contact with an infected person or via droplets from coughing or sneezing. The virus commonly causes itchy, red rashes that develop into fluid-filled blisters, often appearing on the face, chest, and back before spreading to the rest of the body.

Symptoms of Chickenpox


Symptoms of chickenpox typically include:

    • Fever, fatigue, and loss of appetite.
    • Itchy, red rashes that evolve into blisters.
    • Scabbing of blisters within 5-10 days.
    • Chickenpox in adults can cause more severe symptoms compared to children, including pneumonia or skin infections
