Case study of chickenpox?

If you type in Journal+chicken pox into Google search, you will find many professional journal articles or case studies about chicken pox. But most case studies will give a typical history and development of a child who acquires chicken pox. The child would have been exposed, often in pre-school, kindergarten or in grade school; the child's peers often had chicken pox before or near the same time as a child first becoming ill. A child may have been "fine" one day or slightly feverish, then the classic "pox" sores begin to show. The child should immediately be kept at home and not taken to public places.

The "spots" often start on the trunk-- the chest and back-- but can appear on any skin surface. As more spots show, itchiness often develops. The child may have a low grade fever, aches, and pains. Within a few days, the spots begin to open and weep clear fluid. The fluid contains the virus, so it is the fluid that can spread the disease, and the fluid from mucous membranes (coughing, sneezing). The child should be encouraged to rest and to not scratch. Scratching can cause secondary skin infection and lead to complications. Within about a week to 2 weeks, the sores begin to dry and crust. Usually by then, the child and parents are going stir crazy!

The child can go back to school once the dried sores have begun to fade.

How close are scientists to finding a cure for chickenpox?

Chickenpox is not my area of expertise. I do, however, happen to know a thing or two about viruses. What I can tell you is that Chickenpox is an infection that is caused by the Varicella Zoster Virus. Viruses are very small organisms that can cause serious infections.

Currently, modern medicine isn't able to cure viruses, only prevent them. In some cases, we are able to develop a "vaccine" against a virus. Vaccines are administered before a person is exposed to infection and often times will help them develop an immunity to disease.

There is currently no cure for Chickenpox, however there has been a vaccine developed.
