Chickenpox (Varicella)🩺💉👇💊📌

Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a member of the herpesvirus family. It mainly affects children but can also occur in adults (more severe in adults).

🛑Mode of Transmission
• Airborne: via respiratory droplets from coughing/sneezing.
• Direct contact: with fluid from skin lesions.
• Indirect contact: through contaminated objects.

It is contagious 1–2 days before rash appears until all lesions have crusted over.

🛑Incubation Period
• 10–21 days after exposure (average ~14 days).

🛑Symptoms
1. Prodromal (early) stage
• Mild fever
• Malaise, fatigue
• Loss of appetite
• Headache
2. Rash stage
• Starts as red macules → papules → vesicles (“dew drop on a rose petal”) → pustules → crusts
• Appears first on face, chest, and back, then spreads to the rest of the body
• Lesions appear in crops (all stages may be present at once)
• Itchy rash

🛑Complications (more common in adults, immunocompromised, pregnant women)
• Bacterial skin infection (from scratching)
• Pneumonia
• Encephalitis, cerebellar ataxia
• Hepatitis
• In pregnancy: congenital varicella syndrome

🛑Diagnosis
• Usually clinical (typical rash + history of exposure).
• Lab confirmation (rarely needed): PCR, direct fluorescent antibody test, serology.

🛑Treatment
• Supportive care in children (as disease is usually mild):
• Rest, fluids, oatmeal baths, calamine lotion, antihistamines for itching, paracetamol for fever (avoid aspirin → Reye’s syndrome).
• Antiviral therapy (Acyclovir) for:
• Immunocompromised patients
• Adults (within 24 hours of rash onset)
• Severe disease

🛑Prevention
• Varicella vaccine (live attenuated):
• Children: 2 doses (12–15 months, then 4–6 years).
• Adults without immunity should also be vaccinated.
• Post-exposure prophylaxis: vaccine within 3–5 days of exposure or varicella-zoster immune globulin (for high-risk individuals).

🛑Key Point:
Chickenpox is usually a mild, self-limiting illness in children but can cause serious complications in adults, newborns, and immunocompromised patients. Vaccination is the best prevention.
