Chickenpox is a contagious disease caused by varicella-zoster virus. It leads to a skin rash that is itchy and after a few days transforms into blisters.

Chickenpox virus is transmitted by air and reaches a healthy organism by mouth or by nose. If an infected person coughs or sneezes and the small particles of saliva reaches a healthy person the virus will get into the lungs and then into the blood stream.

If a person has had chickenpox the chances for it to develop this disease again are quite small. Chickenpox is very contagious and generally 90% of those who live close to the infected person will catch the virus if they are not immunized against it. It seems that chickenpox occurs more often during later winter and early spring moths.
