Chickenpox - symptoms, course & risk of reactivation
Chickenpox is highly contagious and usually harmless - blisters, fever and itching characterise the course of the disease. Shingles can develop later.
Wissenswertes über "Chickenpox"
Chickenpox (varicella) is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV)
Chickenpox mainly occurs in children, but can also affect adults. It is transmitted by droplet infection or direct contact with the fluid of the characteristic blisters. Chickenpox is a typical childhood disease and is usually mild, but can be more severe in adults.
The infection begins with general symptoms such as mild fever, exhaustion and headaches. A few days later, itchy skin blisters appear, which can spread all over the body. These blisters go through various stages from reddening to blistering to crusting.
After healing, however, the varicella zoster virus remains in the body for life. Under certain conditions, such as a weakened immune system, the virus can be reactivated and trigger a new infection, which is then referred to as herpes zoster (shingles).
